When you wish to check the attributes of text make sure you have interacted with that text first. NOt just interacted with the text area, but actually interact with the text. Use the VO keys to navigate around rather than just the arrow keys. I think what you're experiencing is that you are changing the text attributes fine, but then you are just getting misleading feedback from VoiceOver afterwards. This happens to me in any word processing app with VoiceOver if I just use the arrow keys to navigate around, which is what I usually do. Instead, for VoiceOver to be properly focussed and report text attributes properly, you need to interact with the text and use the VO-up arrow and VO-down arrow etcetera commands to move around your document.

Hi, I having problems changing fonts and adding text attributes in tExt Edit. I'm not sure whether Voiceover is incorrectly reporting what I'm trying to do or whether I'm doing something wrong (probably the latter!). When I select text and bold it, whether that's a word or a line, Voiceover reports that all the text is bold. When I go to change the font, I do a select all, and press command t to bring up the fonts. I interact with the table of font families and change it to something like helvetica, but when I go back into my document, the font hasn't changed. Am I missing something?
