A proper replacement for common fonts (Arial, Times, Garamond, etc..) are the 
TeX Gyre fonts which TeXmacs ships. To change a font for the whole document 
you need to do it in Document->Font (not selecting all the text which creates 
a new environment with different font and is designed only for local 
changes). If you want the freedom to change only the text font and not the 
math font you can open an "expert" font panel, this is achieved by selecting 
the associated checkbox in the preferences (it is a program-wide change).
