Ok, here's a quick overview of how the Etox API works. The idea is that we want to be able to manipulate subsections of the text, not just have all the properties apply to all the lines of text. To accomplish that there are structures that contain the current set of text properties, these are called Etox_Context's. When you call the etox_set_* function, all you are really doing is changing the data in the currently used context. The context's are applied to newly created text, not the current contents of the etox.
To change the current contents of an etox after it has been created, you can use the selection mechanism. With this, you select a set of text in the etox, and then apply a context to the selection. Rephorm was actually the last one to work on selections, so I'm not exactly sure what state they are in. Looking at the selections test program, they at least work to a degree. To answer your specific question, perform a selection of the entire etox contents, setup a context with the new settings you want, and then apply the context to the selection.
