Creating Styles.. and then nesting styles

Seems simple enough:

tellapplication"Adobe InDesign CS5.5"

tellactive document

  setmyCharacterStyletomakecharacter stylewith properties{name:"Year",size:26.0,fill color:"Paper",stroke color:"Black",stroke weight:0.75, font:"Helvetica", font style:"Black"}

  setmyCharacterStyletomakecharacter stylewith properties{name:"Years",size:18.0,fill color:"Black",stroke color:nothing,stroke weight:nothing,horizontal scale:80.0,vertical scale:80.0,font:"Helvetica",font style:"Black"}

  setmyParagraphStyletomakeparagraph stylewith properties{name:"Year"}

  setnested stylesofmyParagraphStyleto{{applied character style:"Year",repetition:1,inclusive:false,delimiter:any word},{applied character style:"Years",repetition:2,inclusive:true,delimiter:any word}}

endtell

endtell

The font and the point size do not come through when the style is created. The nested styles also do not come through.

I tried applied font:"Helvetica" to get 'font family not available'. Also, font:font "Helvetica"...

What I get right now I is no font defined or size. The rest works.

So what am I doing wrong here?
