styles set with node.setStyle() are not inherit

This works on HTML

<div style="font-size: 26pt;">
<span>Big </span>
<span>Font</span>
</div>

This does not work on JFX

HBox box = new HBox();
box.setStyle("-fx-font-size: 26px");
box.getChildren().add(new Text("Big "));
box.getChildren().add(new Text("Font"));
