I just had one of those “oops, what combination of keys was that?” moments, and not only was growing the size of the type (which I’ve figured out how to reverse) but seem to have switched fonts. How do I get back to the default font?

In general, to change fonts use the “Fonts” dropdown (on the “Advanced” view) to change it to whatever you like. It appears that the default font isn’t available through the menu, so you may have to just hand-delete all “Font” tags.
