o Open the Styles & Formatting window.
o Click on the Page Styles icon.
o Double-click on First Page. (This applies First Page page style to 
the page containing the cursor.)
o Click on "New Style from Selection" and then "New Style from Selection".
o Give your new style a name. You now have a copy of the First Page 
page style with your new name.
o Right-click on the new style in the list and select Modify... .
o Modify your new page style as required.

It would be easier to create one first page style in each of two 
separate templates, wouldn't it?  You'd never want two first pages in 
one document.

Yes, but fonts are hardly page properties - so they are not a 
property of page styles.  Fonts are a property of paragraph styles 
(and of character styles).  Your templates will have default 
paragraph styles (perhaps Default or "Text body"?), and you can 
select a preferred font in each of those - or, indeed, in multiple 
paragraph styles.
