The other thing to note, that I forget myself sometimes, is that in 
Story Editor, you must highlight text that will have font or other 
features changed. Simply changing settings without highlighting text 
won't change the results at all. (unless you're using styles)

In fact, it's worth mentioning that you might play with fonts, etc by 
creating a style and then editing the style. When you save the changes 
the results are changed wherever the style is used.
