I set up the Jazz notation font for chord suffixes (BEFORE adding any chords). When I enter the chord suffixes, the font looks right, but as soon as I tab to the next one, it's no longer the correct font.

"Screenshot 1" is how it looks WHILE I'm typing it in. "Screenshot 2" is after I finish. (I've reinstalled fonts and rebooted.)

If I understand you correctly, you are talking about
Document Options > Fonts > Chord > Suffix*
- right?

Note the * after the word Suffix.

The * means that a font change will only affect suffixes created after font changes are applied.
Already existing suffixes will not be changed.

You are not creating new suffixes (in the Chord Suffix Editor) - right?

Fix:
In the Chord Suffix Selection, delete the suffixes you do not need (because their font is wrong).
Then, load a chord suffix library with the suffixes you need (= suffixes in the font you need).

You can create the suffixes yourself (in the Chord Suffix Editor).
But loading a chord suffix library is much faster.
