I figured out the issue. It's a simple one.

When I go to change fonts and set as default.. it'll set the font as default, yes, but it also sets the font as that channel's specific font at the same time.

So, let's say I change the default font using another channel, it sets that channel to having a specific font, while changing the default font. This results in the fist channel I did the font change in to not update with the change.

To fix this all I had to do was select set as default font AS WELL AS use default. it doesn't set the specific channel font if I do it that way.

Figured it out on my own, but if it's not meant to work like that.. well, there you go. smile I just know in previous versions I didn't have to click 'use default' as well.
