I’ve noticed an issue with changing the font family in the variables modal. The font does not update across all pages and components automatically. The font can be changed to the correct family when double clicking on a text box.
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.
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).
