Bug Report - bug in footer font

There is an annoying bug in the footers of my Pages documents. The font of the time stamp is constantly being changed from italic 10 point weight to a regular 12 point weight - I'll fix it, and then the next time the document is opened its back to italics. (This particular font is Gill Sans light.)
It's not a huge hairy deal - but it would be nice to see it fixed in the next iteration of Pages.

Have you created a style for the footnote? When I inserted a footnote and then changed the font etc. I could redefine the footnote style and the next foot note did use it.

Like fruhulda I made tests and Gil Sans behave flawlesly in my footers.
I was able to reproduce what you described only after setting the format to italic in the area where the date is inserted.

On the screenshot, the style is set to italic on the left, it's set to regular on the right.

Yes, this is the issue - I have all mine set in the footer to Gill Sans Light Italic - but it keeps auto-changing the time to regular and two points larger. It just does this to the time field and, perplexingly, leaves the date field alone. (If I could figure out how to attach screenshots here, I could show you.)

You say you have "all mine set in the footer to Gill Sans Light Italic". How have you set it? Styles?

May you send a sample file to my mailbox ?
It would be easier to identify the 'culprit'.
