BUG DESCRIPTION:
I’m trying to make custom output system. While looking for best font, I found that if I change font while text affected by <b>Bold</b> or <i>italic </i> won’t change font until tags removed or changed

REPRODUCTION STEPS:

  1. Create any text object with RichText enabled.
  2. Change text font to LuckiestGuy (for example, you can change to any one)
  3. Paste this string as example:
    <font color="#808080"> 17:24:51.113 </font><font color="#FF4040"><b>Look at me! I won't change my font!</b></font>
  4. Change text font to Inconsolata
  5. 17:24:51.113 font will change, but NOT Look at me! I won't change my font! one.
  6. Remove <b> and </b>
  7. Text changed font now.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR:
I expect RichText work as intented with properties of TextLabel/other text holder.
ACTUAL BEHAVIOR:
Some RichText tags ignore property changes of TextLabel/other text holder.
