I'm sure it's something that should be obvious, but changes to the font properties in the Reports module aren't sticking. I can change everything else, like alignment, color, etc.

Any errors in the designer's output console?

I figured it out... a real bozo move here...

If there's no text in the field, the formatting won't stick. I was trying to pre-format my fields before populating them.
