Description Alexis Pautrot 2012-10-19 08:45:33 UTC 
- Create a new text layer
- Change the font family by anything but default font Sans
- Type anything
- Select all the text with the mouse
- Type another letter or word
- The font familly have been reseted to Sans

This behavior is very annoying. User (at least me) is expecting that the font family used for a text that overwrite another is the same than the overwriten text.

I face a font name reset when starting to type in step 3. As a workaround you can change the font name in the dockable Text tool options dialog.Thanks for the bug report. 
This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but please feel free to report any further bugs you find.
