I add a column manager for a detail grid (which works fine).  I then set a new font with bold as follows:

 

ColumnManagerRow columnManager = new ColumnManagerRow();

columnManager.Font = new Font(gridControl.Font, FontStyle.Bold);

But the headers aren't in bold.  I do the same thing for the main grid and it works fine.

This works fine here.  Can you post a bit more details/code on how you set you grid and detail grid?

Looking at your code, I don't see anything wrong that could explain this.  If you are entitled to support, you can send us a sample application reproducing the issue, so we can investigate this further.

You can also try to make a simple project where you set only the minimum properties you need to do this, with one column, etc..., and see if it works.  If it does, then start adding properties and columns to the application, until you reproduce the issue.
