The tool options box is at the bottom
Unless you want to make your text in the same text box different sizes and fonts, don't use the floating tool box to edit.
Works for me.
Sans is a problematic name because it often doesn't really exist in your font collection, it may just be a place holder for whatever sans-serif font is the default on your system (Arial, Calibri, Helvetica, Liberation...). So if you want to test this dialog better use a real font name.
@OP the small widget is really to change the font/color/spacing of some characters. If you use it to set the font of the whole text, you'll lose the font if you copy-paste something over the text because the pasted text will use the settings in the Tool options.
