Resize & Change Font

Hi There. Once I have typed in text, how do I change the font and the size? I'm using a new layer to put the text on, but I can't do anything with it except move it. No matter what I do I can't seem to change any of the other properties.
I want to put text on a picture, and then change the font and change the size to get it to look just right. In adobe products - indesign, photoshop - all i have to do is select the text, and I can alter any of the properties of the text, but there seems to be no way to select text with the text tool. All I can do is select the area, and none of the text options can be applied.
I presume there has to be a simple answer to this, but I've read the gimp help, and googled and searched the forums. Please help!

Select the text using the text tool or double-click the text layer in the Layers dialog. Then look at the options of the text tool. In case you don't have the options opened (you really should have the tool options around all the time), double-click the Text tool icon.
