When typing in this message box on my forum the font appears as Times New Roman but then when posted it reverts to:
Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
How can I have text when typed in to be Verdana so it matches my site? (see attached)
Hi StocksForum,
This doesn't have any relation to wpForo. The Times New Roman font-family comes from the TinyMCE editor, the Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif font family is inherited from your active theme's styles.
I find some articles on how to change the TinyMCE font-family:

@sofy @stocksforum this isn't entirely correct. You can set the font in the editor as detailed here - I do this so it definitely works

Where do you type that code in?
What do I type to get Verdana font?
It seems to show up here now as Verdana as I'm typing, but when I type the reply box bottom of the screen it is Times New Roman.
@stocksforum sorry, I seem to have missed your post. This is a JavaScript function, and should be added into your theme - this depends on how you're setup, and what theme you are using. Some themes allow you to add arbitrary JavaScript on the fly when the page loads, and others need a plugin or function to inject the code on page load.
For the Verdana font, you'd need to specify it in the font-family section of the CSS I provided. In this case, font-family: "Verdana, Arial, Courier"; for example.
