How to change default font in Pages?

how do we change the default font for Pages??

Usually create your own template using the font you want in the Styles.
What version of Pages are you referring to?

    You can't set a default font.
    Instead use a custom slide master with the font you want to use.

    How to cahnge all fon'ts in windows 8.1 to Tahoma 8 for example?

    This is supposed to be a better program than Win 8.
    Did someone from Microsoft Marketing tell you that?  Maybe a fanboy?  :)
    In all seriousness it's not better in any obvious way than Win 8, nor is it really any better than Win 7.  It can be tweaked to be just about as good.  And to be fair, it's stable.
    I mean yes, we all expected Win 8.1 to be better than its predecessors
    - software releases are supposed to give you some value, some good reason to upgrade - but that kind of goes away when the software maker feels they have a captive audience as Microsoft does, and especially when they still have plenty of businesses
    buying Win 7, which pays their bills.
    But like it or not, removed choices or not, apparently Windows 8 is here to stay.  Joshua up above says "You fail", but have they really?  Once you're patching it up to make it usable they've already got your license fee, and your
    alternatives to running Windows are what, exactly?

  • How to change default fonts in Indesign

    I've tried the usual recommended steps - open InDesign, select a font, then close the program, etc. -- but nothing seems to work. Every style reverts to MetaPlus. Help!

    Respectfully, I've tried this, and I'm not looking for suggested working solutions as I have a pretty clear understanding of how to set defaults and how to utilize paragraph styles.  I'm simply pointing out that contrary to what you're saying, setting the font in the character palette does NOT change the true default font in my experience (CS4, OS10.4.11). I do understand that the default is set with no documents open by then selecting the font in the character palette.
    I'm attaching 2 screen shots to show you that I'm not making this up.  In the first you can hopefully see I've clearly set the "default" to Arial now.
    In the second I've created a new document and a new paragraph style. You can see it already considers "Arial" as deviating from the base "No Paragraph Style" and if you click on "Reset to Base" you will see that sure enough, the true default font is still Geneva (Geneva in my case as outlined in my previous post).
    Generally, this isn't much of a problem. As you've all pointed out we can accept that these additions are the new default for a new paragraph style, but it really isn't changing the true default font. Depending on your working environment and the experience of the designers this may be good enough. For my environment I'm looking for the ability to change the true default font and the only solution I've come across is the one from my previous post (deleting preferences).

  • How to change default font in Numbers?

    Is it possible to somehow change the default font when creating new documents in Numbers from "Helvetica Neue" to just "Helvetica", size 11? Changing the font and saving the document as new template simply does not work since the font in newly created tables in the new document using the new template still falls back to "Helvetica Neue".

    Here is an enhanced version.
    You may use it with the three components of iWorks.

  • How to change default font in Thunderbird interface

    I know this question has been asked and discussed at length, but creating a question appears to be the only way to create an account. If there is another way, please tell.
    To the question at hand, relying on an add-on for a simple configuration change such as modifying the UI font is really stretching things. I spent ages trolling through all the options in the default installation, and then went googling before I eventually found the add-on.
    I'm surprised it took so long to get the actual message across; perhaps it was ppl thinking differently, using different OSes, I don't know, but I recognized it straight away because it was exactly what I was trying to do. Change the font of the entire UI so that I could actually read it. The default is way too small for me. Changing the message text, etc., is simple; changing the entire UI is not. And again, don't want to change every app, only Thunderbird. I'm using Fedora 21.
    It might be worth considering that if so many ppl ask the same question, or have the same issue, then it might be worth making the "extension" part of the base functionality.

    Use the Theme Font Size Changer add-on.
    That's the answer, unless you choose to fiddle with css coding. I think Thunderbird's design has been caught out by newer high resolution displays. This was a rather less common request a few years ago. The mac retina displays got this particular ball rolling.

  • How to change default font in Photoshop CS5

    Is there a simple way to change the default font from Felix Tilting to Verdana in Photoshop CS5

    The character palette will remember the last font you used with any of the text tools. If it doesn't, then something is afoot, but your rather vague post doesn't allow any specific pointers. If you have issues, you need to explain nad provide some system info and so on...

  • How to change default font in 5.5.2 (Yosemite)

    I've found threads about this for earlier versions, but not the new. I was able to make a new template with the defaults I want, but I want to be able to change the default for any blank template. Nearly the ENTIRE industry standard for print magazines, books and newspapers is Times New Roman, 12pt. Yet Apple insists on Helvetica (?!) and 11pt. Who is this a standard for? I'm curious.
    Thanks for the help

    It was built on a free forum, as I did it also for free, and the IP pulled the plug without notice when the 10 years was up for those who ran the free forums.
    I was never able to make contact with anyone involved, so lost all my work, about the same time Apple trashed iWork.
    I am thinking about starting a new forum under my own aegis, but not looking forward to revisiting what I largely consider a lost cause. i.e. Apple's software.
    When Affinity and other quality 3rd party options fall in place I am thinking of building a site around those as a real solution.

  • Default font for Pages

    In Pages for iPad, It´s posible to change default font type in blank tempate?

    I am only posting this in hopes that some developer at Apple will see it.  I really think that there should be a way to change the default font in Pages on any iPad.  I don't like the fact that the default has to be Helvetica.  Sure I can change it and set up documents I don't need.  The simple fact is that this should be a part of any processor.  Again, I just hope someone at Apple reads this and makes the argument.  This should be a simple thing to do that would make many customers happy (I guess I can only speak for me).  Surely, if they can figure out how to put in 3D graphics for charts, a default font selected by the customer is not an impossibility.  Change this please!!!

  • Default font in Pages

    I seem to have forgotten how to change the default font for Pages. I would imagine you edit the template that loads automatically, but how do you do that?

    I think it's explained in chapter 11 of the manual.

  • How to change an after login page?

    Does anyone knows how to change an after login page from a default page 1 to, let's say page 200?

    Jessica,
    The URL to run your application is http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=23533.
    If you use this, page 3 is the first page shown after login.
    Using the URL you gave runs the Application Builder, not your application. If you use the Builder's Run Application icon to run your application, the page in your application that you are requesting is page 1 (or whatever is in the application's Home URL attribute). But running your application this way is something you do in a development environment only
    Your basic question has to do with how end users would get to a particular after-login page. End users do not have access to the Application Builder.
