Comment 3 for bug 204246

I am getting the same thing as you. Put simply, I cannot change the font when creating text (when using 0.46). I reverted back to 0.45 to see if I have the same problem, and 0.45 is fine (able to change the font).

UPDATE: I can change the font using Ctrl+Shift+T, but not from the drop down font selection (screenshot attached). In the provided screen shot I had already changet the font using Ctrl+Shift+T
