Ask: changing text in two different comp

If you apply an expression like this to the text in comp2:

comp("comp1").layer("text").text.sourceText

it will get the text from comp1, but will get its font from its own first character. So you can't maintain multiple fonts in that text, but you can maintain the font of the first character.

Well, you would have to use the actual name of your text layer:

comp("Comp 1").layer("Text 1").text.sourceText

Make sure you explicitly name the text layer so it doesn't change when you change the text itself.
