Can't change fonts via expressions?

[kresimirk39695749]

Hi,

I just can't find a way to change font family of a "Numbers" date counter that I'm using. 

I found 3 ways to change the fonts, and neither actually changes it. I've marked the fonts options I've tried in the image sample. Goodness, what other way that works can there possible be? Though clearly I am messing something up.

Thank you!

Was pick whipping the font selection field in the UI the 4th way? Also may I ask why you're changing the font through expression and not just directly from the UI?

quite frankly, I can't re-find it currently.. the most unintuitive piece of software there is..

because changing it through UI does not work, it doesn't affect it at all. Something ties it to something else, and hence unless you dig up where it is, nothing else Fonts related will at all work with it. And I did have to whip/tie some part of this "script/setup". But I can't explain much because I was just following through some tutorial to get it done. Was just one of many other things I didn't knew, so can't really help much.
