The options offered allow you to:

  1. Insert symbols

  2. Change the font size

  3. Save the changes and move the cursor away from the text box

At the time of writing, different fonts are not supported; however, this feature is part of our plans.

After completing the changes, the text box has to be selected with the select tool, 4:

This offers the same options as any other image or object, in addition to allowing the font size to be changed or text to be edited.
