Tap the T to change the font. It's at the top of the screen. This changes the sample text to a different font. You can keep tapping the T until you see the font you want to use.
- If you're typing a status onto an image, start typing your status, and then tap the T repeatedly until you find the font you want to use.

Tap the color palette to change the background color. While you can't change the font color to anything other than white, you can select a different background color for contrast. Just keep tapping the palette icon until you see the color you want.
