Changing fonts for selected text?

[jrszabo]

Is there anyway to change fonts (bold, or italic, etc.) for selected text or words within a text.

No, only the color and the background color for selected text can be specified at View - Set Colors, but not the font and the style.

You can use syntax highlighting where you can specify styles like bold and italic for various groups of words (strings, comments, numbers, color/word group 1 - 8, ...). But you need a fixed pitch font - see Monospaced vs Fixed Pitch fonts.

A font setting based on the extension of a file can be specified at Configuration - Editor - Word Wrap/Tab Settings.
