Arrell: Is it possible to create a text element with text with different fonts?
No: a TextElement has a single TextStyle property, and a TextStyle has a single Font property.
What CADCOP is referring to is the ability of the word processor to create a line of text having multiple settings. In fact, it creates a TextNodeElement having several TextElements arranged horizontally. It has the appearance of a single line of multi-font text, which is probably what you want.
To emulate that effect, construct several TextElements, each with the desired font, then add them to a TextNodeElement.

Thanks for the reply! Can you add two TextElements to a TextNodeElement on the same line? I may not really understand, but it seems that you can use either AddTextLine or InsertTextLine, both of which seem to me to add the text to a seperate line. When the text is placed in the model in is arranged vertically with separte lines for each line added to the TextNodeElement. Is it possible to change the properties so that lines 2 and 3 (of a TextNodeElement) are arranged horizontally and then lines 1 and 5-10 are arranged vertically? What I am looking for is something similar to this. Except the quesiton mark is a greek delta symbol and then the rest of the text is a different font.

The evidence speaks for itself. Use the text editor to create a line of text, and adopt CADCOP's suggestion.

Those methods add a TextElement to the TextNodeElement. By default, they are aligned vertically. However, each TextElement has its own origin that you can modify.

Add text to your TextNodeElement and adjust the origin of each TextElement to suit your needs.
