Hi, Just a thought: are the fonts that are defined in the styles installed? It sounds a lot like font substitution playing tricks on you. This would explain how you try to apply a style and nothing happens. I hope this helps. Rémy.Le vendredi 10 janvier 2020 à 12:29 +0100, Pieter van Oostrum a écri
