The font info in the Paragraph Designer is only the info for the "Default
P Font"; it does *not* reflect the actual settings in use in the para.  You
need to use the Character Designer to determine and override those.

See if your non-updating paras have a named character style applied to them.
I've noticed that the import filters often create a char style named "Default
Paragraph Font" (**not** with the Para symbol, but with the whole word).  This
will override your global update; you'll need to get rid of it by applying
the real "Default P Font" from the Character Catalog.  At least, that's what
I do... there may be more clever methods, that do not wipe out overrides you
really want to keep.
