Changing multiple text layers

[punatichi]

Is there a way to change the font for multiple text layers all at once?

You could use a script, here is an example, it will change ALL text layers to the selected font.
This was writen for PSCS2/3
Save the code as FileName.jsx and to run it:
File-Scripts-Browse to where you saved it and select it.
Select your font and click ok.

...the alternative is if you only want to change targeted layers press shift/control click each text layer, press the T key, click in the font name field and either use you up and down arrow keys or drop down menu to change the font...
