After generating a text, I copied it. When I tried to change the font of the copied text, it didn't work. It literally changes nothing.
Is it normal in GIMP?
If yes, what is the solution? Should I generate the text one by one instead?

How did you copy the text layer ? If you selected then copied then pasted that is no longer a text layer, it becomes a raster layer same as you use for painting on.

To make a copy of a text layer use Layer -> Duplicate Layer 

Look at the layer icon in the layers dock and the difference between a text layer and a regular layer.
