Table tool glitching - font not responding

[a.arnold26]

Ive been using publisher literally all day everyday to launch some digital products - nonstop for months. The software glitches from time to time but a reboot will normally fix the issue. In this instance the table tool font is not working properly as you can see in the screenshot. I have two documents to show the difference and the issue. The font in the table tool is suddenly stuck on bold and it doesn't matter which font I click on in the table they are all randomly bold looking instead of what the regular font option should look like even though bold is NOT selected. The only difference today out of the entire time I've used this software was I saved default settings for the table tool by going to the edit menu - defaults - save option to save the font I constantly use which is Malayalman Sangam MN - I got tired of having to select it in every document I used. I did that earlier today with not issues working on several documents successfully since my default settings were saved. Thats the only thing I did differently and so I tried to set the default back to factory settings thinking maybe it caused this issue even though it was initially working fine but it didn't do anything when I tried to go back to default. I tried factory reset, I rebooting my computer and I used Time Machine on Mac to go back to an earlier version of affinity from like 2 days ago after uninstalling the app to see if that would fix the issue. I also tried the table tool icons to see if I could fix it that way. Nothings worked - please help because the fonts looking like that is not esthetically pleasing for my work and I sell documents to people.

For now - if I copy and past a table from any document I worked on right before this one the font is fine which is the example im showing in the screen shop a table to copied. But in any new document when I create a table I have this issue. Please help.

Also an FYI I have the most current version installed - I installed it about 2 days ago. Thank you for your time

I appreciate you responding - but I don't understand what you mean and allow me to provide additional clarity. I've literally been using the tool all day everyday and all I did was click on the table tool like normal - create a new grid and started typing like normal and the font wasn't working properly. Also keep in mind if it matters I literally just finished like 6 documents before this happened and used the same tool the same way and for some reason suddenly now moving forward the fonts - all of them no matter which I choose all appear to be stuck in bold in the table tool.  If I make the font larger its not as noticeable but you can see the issue when the font is smaller.

With that in mind - if you still stand by what you said please elaborate so I can try what you're saying - I just want it to stop lol. Thank you for your time.

I’ve a feeling that you might have given the text a Stroke of something other than None; that would give it the effect of looking bold when it’s not.

Okay I played around with it and the pen tool stroke was on 🙄 so I put the stroke style to none - how in the world smh. Interesting. Thank you Kindly - appreciate it!! Problem solved.

Thank you both for your time and thanks GarryP for the solution. Have a nice day!
