Just use a TextFontReference, e.g.,

   aFont := (TextStyle named: 'Atlanta') defaultFont. "or any other"
   text := 'Hello World' asText.
   text addAttribute: (TextFontReference toFont: aFont).
   text asTextMorph openInHand.

This will do it. The magic is using the right text attribute (check the 
TextAttribute hierarchy for inspiration).
