This does sound the same as the later issues in 168320, but that bug also contains a lot of other stuff, so it might confuse things to mark this as a simple duplicate.
I've found that if I type some text, then highlight and then select the font from the drop down menu, it does change it properly, but on the whole I agree with Mercury's diagnosis above.
Mercury/Marcin - glad you did jump in.

Should someone milestone this for 0.46.1?
