SUMMARY STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Using T 2. Enter Text 3. Change font nothing happens. hit "save" nothing happens, the window closes at best. OBSERVED RESULT Only the text itself can be changed. EXPECTED RESULT Changes to the font shall be applied and not ignored. But when you try to fix it, the way the texttool works is entirely unpracticable. as soon as the texttool gets activated, the used font shall be accessible in the tool bar above the drawbox, where "opacity" is/together with it The size of the font shall be calculated from the box drawn by the user, means fontsize shall follow the box rectangle size. When i insert a text into a document, i have a destinct imagination where and how big i want it. Actually, the workflow is not optimal, this bug left beside, because you more or less set the left/top corner and then find out how much the fontsize has to be with the given font to match the imagination. Even photoshop v1 had a better solution to this workflow, as krita has now. So instead of fixing it, make it better.

anyone external reading this report: Workaround: Use the transform tool to get your text the size you want. ATTN: does not fix the font problem at all.
Did you actually select the text you wanted to change the font of?
Created attachment 116582 [details] How it should be
Answere to your question: No, as it's illogically. The entire text changes when "save" is hit, but you need to select a textblock to apply a fontsize. Do the users a favour and change the entire practise. I know there a limitations due to Adobe+Copyright+Design&more , there must be a more intuitive way than that, which means everything else is better.
I'm completely unsure what you mean with that screenshot. If you mean that krita should do on-canvas editing, well, no, that's unlikely to happen. We had that, and we just couldn't get it working properly with our available resources. If you mean that that screenshot shows that the font of the text changes without having to select the text, well, there is selected text, isn't there? And finally, yes, we know that the text should be made friendlier. We are working on that. But we cannot perform instant magic...
