Here are a couple of approaches:

Finish typing your text, then highlight it and click the drop-down arrow to find and select the font you want, then select color and size if you want. You will see the changes occur in the text box as you make your selections.



or

Add a new text box. Type one letter to start things off then click the drop-down arrow to find and select the font you want, then select color and size if you want. Continue typing (do not click inside the box because that will deactivate your choices) which will now be in the style you have chosen. Just delete the first letter that "activated" the text formatting choices.

The trick, I found, is I had to type that one "throw away" letter. I came to realize that clicking inside the text box could reset the font to default.
