If it is a bug, it is a bug in Feisty. It sounds like the font
size is being hard coded. Are you sure that you did not change the
font size using the Font Size dropdown list next to the Font Name
dropdown list in the Formating toolbar? I doubt that any changes made
using this toolbar can be changed by changing the style.
If you are going to use styles, you need to use the Styles and
Formatting window only. (F11 opens it.) By only making changes in the
styles in this window, I can modify the style of any part of my
document. I only use the formatting toolbar for information.
