Select the desired font from the list.
A preview of the newly selected font is now displayed at
the top of the properties panel.

Right-click to complete the text segment.
Your text appears in the design. You can now make any other
changes to the text segment in the Text Properties box.

text segment.
Important:
If you choose a new font, but do not click Apply at
this stage, the text will revert to the font previously in use when
it is generated.
