<Text> variant prop is not working

Current behaviour

The <Text> component renders the same text style, independent of its variant prop. For instance, the following (copy/pasted from the documentation):

import { View } from "react-native";
import { Text } from "react-native-paper";

const EventListItem = () => {
  return (
      <View>
        <Text variant="displayLarge">Display Large</Text>
        <Text variant="displayMedium">Display Medium</Text>
        <Text variant="displaySmall">Display small</Text>

        <Text variant="headlineLarge">Headline Large</Text>
        <Text variant="headlineMedium">Headline Medium</Text>
        <Text variant="headlineSmall">Headline Small</Text>

        <Text variant="titleLarge">Title Large</Text>
        <Text variant="titleMedium">Title Medium</Text>
        <Text variant="titleSmall">Title Small</Text>

        <Text variant="bodyLarge">Body Large</Text>
        <Text variant="bodyMedium">Body Medium</Text>
        <Text variant="bodySmall">Body Small</Text>

        <Text variant="labelLarge">Label Large</Text>
        <Text variant="labelMedium">Label Medium</Text>
        <Text variant="labelSmall">Label Small</Text>
      </View>
  );
};

Renders:

Expected behaviour

Text styling should be different depending on the variant.

Code sample

The theme object is provided to both <PaperProvider> and <NavigationContainer> and looks like that:

import { DefaultTheme as NavigationDefaultTheme } from "@react-navigation/native";
import { DefaultTheme as PaperDefaultTheme } from "react-native-paper";

/**
 * Color palette.
 */
export const COLORS = {
  orange: "#F7A600",
  pink: "#E50070",
  purple: "#7F2C70",
};

/**
 * App theme (merging React Navigation and Paper themes).
 */
export const AppTheme = {
  ...PaperDefaultTheme,
  ...NavigationDefaultTheme,
  colors: {
    ...PaperDefaultTheme.colors,
    ...NavigationDefaultTheme.colors,
    primary: COLORS.purple,
    secondary: COLORS.pink,
    tertiary: COLORS.orange,
  },
};

So as you can see, I’ve only modified the colors. Even if I don’t pass any theme, the text variants are ignored.
