Whenever I do that, I highlight the text and put it into the format (style) that I want - and that includes the font as well. (Sometimes I have to click on 'Default Formatting' or hit a Ctrl-M to get it to go into the right font, but it is simpler than hunting for a font sometimes. HOWEVER, if you want to preserve the formatting, then you drop down the stylist, go to character formats and pick the one you need. (This presumes that you've used the font you want in your doc already...)
