I 've just done a few more tests after reading your comments.  All the tests i've done are using 
the "Default Style".
I went back to the Windows 10 version and I changed the font to something radically different to 
what i really wanted and it did change a lot of the document with that style but not all of it.  I 
think i missed it before because the paragraph that i had on the screen didn;t change but when i 
changed it to a weird font it scrolled the text up the screen a few lines so i could the text below 
it and see a change. So i changed the font back to something sensible and it worked but it did not 
change the font size at all, it was stuck at 14pt even though i changed it to 12pt. 
I've discovered that if i change the font/size in "default style", it affects other parts of the 
document that has "text body" style applied.
Its the same on version 6 on linux.
