Can't change font in Numbering Style - Office Word
In word document when I use the numbering format for my text, the font can not be changed at all.
The size will be changed, but the font is always Calibri and If I change the font, the name of the font will change but the style of it won't!
Where is the problem?
Office version is 2019 and here is a sample in the Persian language:
Updated:
the font can be changed to some other fonts, but most of the fonts will not work. Where is the difference here? why some fonts will be applied and so many other ones will not?
Update TWO:
when the numbering format contains a ) sign the font will change very easily.
but when the numbering format contains . or any other character (or even empty) it will not change :(

See my comment for links.
Ideally, you will set up your numbering using the Define New Multi-Level List dialog with each level attached to an existing paragraph style. If you do not want to do that but want a simple list, you can use the Define New Number List dialog.
In either of these, you can set the font for the Numbering / Bullet.
Again, see the links in my comment for directions on how to set up numbering linked to styles. This is the only known way to have numbering that can survive editing by multiple people.
You are using a "simple" list which is fine for "simple" documents that you won't be editing much. For important documents, use a multi-level list, with each level linked to a paragraph style. You apply the numbering, not through the numbering commands, but by applying the appropriate style. This is virtually bullet-proof.
1I had the same problem exactly with Persian B Nazanin font. I changed the New Times Roman font to B Nazanin but still, it was showing as New Times Roman.
Fix(For me it was working fine):
Please go to Define New Multilevel List:Add extra space to Enter Formatting for number.
