How do you set “text” and “lyrics” to have their own font and size?
I tried the score settings menu but when I enter either one of those, it shows up with the same size/font.
First In Score Settings Text tab, select “Text” or “Lyrics” button, set your font and click Apply. Then insert your texts or Lyrics.
Strange, when I do that (set individual font/size, and hit apply individually for both text and then lyrics), the settings I applied last show up in both text and lyrics. I’ll check in another project to see if it’s happening only in this project.
I’m also not sure how the ‘note layer’ and ‘layout layer’ play into this situation.
…I suppose that I should be on the “note layer” whenever entering lyrics?
The settings for the font are common to all texts, Lyrics etc.
The Layer has no role here.
What I suggest Is that you create Font sets in Score Settings>Project>Font Settings>Attributes Sets and quickly change the font with all its saved settings.
Also use the new right zone for changing the font (or Font set) for selected texts.
Ok, thanks Maestro.
I am also finding that I can create Words (with the Inspector) with specific fonts, drop them in and quick edit the text to my liking.
I am having a similar problem here.
It doesn’t seem to matter what font size I select before typing lyrics - the moment I start typing, it reverts to size 18 font, bold. This is so infuriating!
Please could someone help?

Over a year later and still this same problem! Are these posts monitored by Steinberg?
Not really. If you want to speak with them directly open a support ticket.
Not exactly. You just have to learn how to use it:

Something is missing in the solutions you all are posting. I suspect none of you are telling the whole story - like there are some other presets you are assuming everyone has, but we don’t. I have gone into Score Settings - into the Project and Text tabs. In the Project tab, and both the Attributes Set and the Project Text subtabs - I have changed these to the font I want and saved them, but they do not affect the lyrics. My lyrics always come out Arial 10. I then have gone into the Text tab. There I can select Lyrics (at the Note Level, Layout Layer, and Project Layer), and I can click on the font to the left and change it to what I want, hit Apply - the font name I put in is still there, so I close the Settings window. I then go to enter new lyrics on my score, they still come out as Arial 10. I bring up the Settings window again and sure enough, under the text tab, the font reverted back to Arial 10 - for no apparent reason. So when you all are putting in lyrics, if they are coming out in the non-Arial 10 font that you want, there is something else you have set up in Cubase to make your font stick. Maybe you do not remember what it is. But what you are posting in this post so far is not the full story - none of the solutions posted here work. What I have stated above are the ONLY places one can change fonts in the Score Settings window - and NONE of them cause my lyrics to come out in the font I want. My lyrics ALWAYS come out as Arial 10 and I have to manually change them to the font I want. I am using Cubase 12 Pro.
