Video sequencer - font size using text effect strip?

I can add text over a movie clip in the video sequencer, but other than options for size and drop shadow, I don’t see any way to change the font, font color, etc. Is this possible? Otherwise, I would have to create text objects in Blender and use those, but that increases the render time by a large factor.

You cannot currently change font

use compositing and 3d\2d text

Richard, thank you. At least changing the color is something useful. What font is used when adding a text strip? Is it the system (PC) font, or can I select a different font for the Blender interface?

I think I found the answer to my last post. It seems I tried to change the font, and the effect strip text is the system text, regardless of Blender’s interface text.
