Font does not change when changing the variable

As you can see the font styling is changed in this example (“Ag” is in a serif font)
But the text in the button is still the old.

After double clicking the textfield, the font is adjusted to the correct form.

Is this a known bug? Has anyone else experienced this issue? Are there any workarounds?

I found a solution to this problem, but it is not the desired way of working. It feels like font variables are not real variables at this moment.

You can use the command “Recompute text layout in selection” to update the text boxes. However, this requires manually running the command on every single page in your document after changing the font family variable.

For more details, refer to the discussion here: Update all text boxes with new version of font.

Also experiencing this issue.
Neither command worked for me.

Update from support is that it “sounds like the tool isn’t behaving the way we’d expect it to.” My ticket has been sent to the Technical Quality team.

Just found a workaround

1. After a variable swap, the font family is not change ?
2. Select the components or frames containing your components;
3. Resize (K) and cancel the resize immediatly;
4. The font is magically updated.

I had to take it a step further and actually resize all the frames and undo it immediately. The fonts all loaded and stayed that way after.

Is there any official update on this? I have the same issue; variables for text don’t apply or they do so in really bizarro ways (like having to click on every text container to get it to change).

Same issue here. The command lines and the resizing did not work for me. I have to manually re-apply the same text style (that was already applied) before the style is updated.

Same issue. Seems to be related to the colors also not updating in random cases. Clicking inside, changing anything, then undoing, seems to fix both issues, but dear lord is it a time suck. Please fix.
