I have to make many small text boxes and have tried to change the default font from liberation 24 to arial 9. I have not found the way to do it yet. Please help it is a hassle changing the font every time I start a new text box
Draw makes use of styles too so it is enough to modify the default style: open the style editor (F11), right click on “default” and then the font tab.
You can also save the modified document as your default template.

I have the same frustrating issue. I select some text in a text box and have gone through and through the drop down menus and the tool bars and cannot find a way to change the font size. There are font size boxes in the tool bar but they have no effect on changing the text size that I have highlighted in the text box.
Also, F11 does not do anything.
Any help would be appreciated.
Hi @John1, @RGB-es gave the solution: select the text box(es) then display Styles & Formatting in the sidbar, just double click a style (e.g. Title). Of course, you can modify existing styles or create your own.
Remark @John1: this “Me too” complaint should have been given as a comment because it is not an answer. Having it as an answer is misleading for people looking for a solution.
You also could copy some different (means: different fonts inside; different background colors; different font colors…) text boxes into the gallery (create a new theme) and when done one simply has to draw/drag one of the samples into the page. And the best: You have a meaningful preview and the gallery theme permanently remains in your office profile in each applications (also: writer, e.g.).
