I would rather see a simpler totally different approach adopted by the
designers:

Always use the defined font style (this would be the default font style
until changed by the tool-bar) irrespective of cursor position or
history.

I think most editors do this.

It would have the disadvantage that any text added to the middle of a
paragraph would use the current font style rather than that of the
paragraph but it would be immediately visible and easy to correct
especially if a 'change current style to that of highlighted text'
control were provided.

Some thought would have to be given to copy/pasted styled text - perhaps
provide a user option to use current style or retail original style.
