Use ’Font Format’ dropdown menu ensures consistency with your site’s styles...

When using the generic (newsitems or sidebar) section type, that is, those pages that have the editor window to add, edit and remove text, it's important for you to use the Font Format dropdown menu for maintaining styles within each site.
If the Font Size and Font Family options in the dropdown menus are used, those styles override the styles within the site's own stylesheet. It means if your web site is to be redesigned with a completely different company brand, those text that have been styled using those options can't take the styling from the new stylesheet.
See the screenshot of the editor window that should help you see what I mean!
Something that is good practice when using any content management software and that will make best use of your time (and your developers/designers) in the future.

BTW We do appreciate there are times when you would like to present text differently that is why the Font Size and Font Family options are available. Just be mindful that it's more professional to be consistent and it's easier on the eye for your visitors.
