Is there any way to globally set the web text?

I read all the web fonts tutorial, but I have a problem.

If I set the web font on the Layout Start, but I need to spawn several text object during certain events. It looks like I have to set the text font each time.. is there any way to avoid doing this?

In case it's not possible, spawning 5 text object, setting them to web fonts and setting the font size every 2 seconds, how much of an impact it has on performance as opposed to "normal" fonts?

If you do 'always - set web font...' the Text object will ignore the action with no performance impact if it is already using that web font. So you should be fine doing that.

Good to know!
