SetFont: change flags, not size?

I'm trying to set font flags while leaving font size alone. My first attempt used nil (no worky):

Code:

object:SetFont("file", nil, "flags")

My next attempt tries to reset the size to its default value (nope):

Code:

object:SetFont("file", (object:GetFont(select,2)), "flags")

I'm wondering if anyone can explain why method #1 doesn't work, and also correct the horribad syntax (and logic?) of my 2nd attempt. Thanks!

Select works as so:

Code:

select(index, table)

Code:

select(2, object:GetFont())

Thank you...worked beautifully. :)

The file & flag args seem to like "nil", but not size. Is it a string versus number thing?

Probably just the way the function works. Flags is optional, so leaving that as nil poses no problem, and the function probably just uses the default game font if Font is nil.
