Paragraph Style Font Keeps Changing

Hello!

I am having an issue where I have set a paragraph style font to Gibson Book. However, when I apply that style, the text is converted to Arno Pro Regular and it reads as this in the font panel. When I go into the Paragraph Style panel, the basic character tab still says it is Gibson Book. 

I have tried making the paragraph style from scratch, and I have also tried highlighting text already formatted how I want and creating the paragraph style from that. Either way it keeps changing it back to Arno Pro.

The only other thing is that this is a file someone else set up and worked in, so maybe there is some setting they put in here, but I dont know what that would be.

    Also check to see if you’ve inadvertently applied a default character style.

    Check if they have grep style, nested styles kind of thing setup in the style settings

    Thank you. Weirdly, there was a character style that was pulling in, but it was not actually showing up in the grep or nested styles tabs. I deleted the character style and that fixed the issue.

    Sounds like you had that style selected when there was no text highlighted which is how it becomes the default for new text...
