7.0 to 7.1 update font headache (though custom code removed)

Hello,

I am updating a 7.0 client website to 7.1. Currently I am in preview mode with it. 

In the 7.1 preview, I stripped out:

• ALL my CSS (there was a lot)
• The one piece of site-wide header code I had;

Then I saved those changes. So no more CSS or header code customization.

I went into the Styles palette and selected a sans-serif paragraph font 'Adelle-Sans', and saved that. Prior to that I had been using Merriweather. 

YET in 7.1 preview, the paragraph font continues to display like a Times Roman/generic serif font. I have never used that font on this website. I cleared my cache, and still that font displays. 

I really need to move this forward to where I can make the site 'live'. Getting this font issue fixed is primary to that. I just don’t understand why this would be happening.

I contacted Squarespace Help, and they were not particularly helpful. The only thing they offered was that there must be some code still in place. There is not. I did the site so I know what the customizations were.

Can anyone offer any thoughts on what might be going on?

Thank you!
 

Hmmm rather difficult to help with whatever might be going on when in preview mode, as you can't share what's going on. Have you tried duplicating the website and then going fully through the upgrade to 7.1 process on that duplicate website, see what happens?
