tekenstijlen in lettertypen

I just started to explore Scribus and created some styles. When I click apply, all changes in a style take effect except the letter font and letter size.
What am I doing wrong?

we will need a little more information. How about posting a style panel before and after so we can see what settings are changed or not.

I made three screen shots: Style editor that shows that shows that the letterfont of the alinea style is Palatino, 10.00 pt; the story editor that shows that the alinea style is applied to al paragraphs; the main window with the text that shows that the letter font is Arial 12.00 pt.
When I change in the style editor other characteristics like alignment and when I click apply (toepassen), these changes immediately take effect, but all changes in font style don't

If you don't have strong reasons for using the story editor, you're supposed to edit your text and apply the styles in the frames.

The Story Editor used to be an important tool in Scribus, but it has not been so for over a decade now. 
Sadly, many beginners tutorials have not caught up, and still present the story editor in the first few steps.
It's a power tool (in bad shape) now.

Indeed, the Story Editor is still usable for some specific tasks that needs it (like editing a short heavily rotated text frame) but is mostly useless for its original goal. 
There are plans for rewriting it, with a new purpose. But it seems that nobody has a urgent need for it.
