Still not getting it. I tried it recently and it worked, according to your advice as follows "It's a global setting in Document Options/Fonts. In the Text drop-down menu, choose Text, then Ending Repeat in drop down menu." But now when I try it, I don't see the brackets. They should appear at the 2nd and 3rd measure of my attachment, where you see Nos.1 and 2 over those measures. Thanks.

Try this :
Repeat Tool.
Select the measure before the repeat bar.
Repeat menu -> Create First and Second Ending.

It seems you have confused Text Repeat and Ending Repeat. What do you want? You have applied Text Repeats. I think you wanted Ending Repeats. The change you made in the Fonts was for Text Repeats. Change the font for the Ending Repeats, and then apply first and second endings.

P.S.: My comments are for the OP. I took too long responding.
