Can this be done without going to the HTML, e.g., by highlighting text and selecting font type from a list?

No. If you just want to change a paragraph or two, you’d have to learn a little bit of code.

Note that to change the font on your whole site you’d need the CSS upgrade (best to have some experience with CSS before you buy):

You pay for upgrades per blog per year. For that upgrade: $30.—

That would be the ‘easiest’ way, but you can also manually type the tags to do it. Going that route requires precision though or things can get messy.

Correct, but the original poster wanted to know if there was a “highlight and select” method to change the font family. There is not.

I see the word ‘without’ up there — wink, wink.

But, I also see that it can be read more than one way with that wording.

Answering just the question in the title:

Especially easy because the upgrade includes typekit, so perhaps the that would work well for the original poster:
