Hi Richard, I have just tested 1202 and setting the Font property of RadDropDownButton at design time is working correctly - the font is changed at runtime as well. Can you please provide more information about the issue you experience? I am looking forward to your reply.
It would be nice, though, to be have design-time changes made in the properties window be available at run-time.
Turns out that was the solution to what he was having issues with.

Just tried doing a repair via the Telerik Control Panel. Still doesn't work. Such quality.
Still doesn't work. I am running 2014.3.1202. You should fire your testers.
