Comments Font default change

Question

How do I set or change the font default so when I open a comment, the font is the one I want? Yes, I can change each comment individually, but I want them all to be the same of my choice when I start.
Thanks.

Hello
Here is a workaround using brute force.
Open a blank document.
Save is as is.
control-click its icon
Show Bundle's contents.
You will get:
Contents
QuickLook
document-thumbnail.tiff
index.xml.gz
Double click on "index.xml.gz"
It will expand as "Index.xml"
Open this xml file.
I do that with "TextWrangler" but you may do the same with TextEdit.
Search for this block:
<sf:paragraphstyle sfa:ID="SFWPParagraphStyle-85" sf:ident="kSFTErrorWarningParagraphStyleID" sf:parent-ident="paragraph-style-default">
<sf:property-map>
<sf:fontSize>
<sf:number sfa:number="11" sfa:type="f"/>
</sf:fontSize>
<sf:fontColor/>
<sf:fontName>
<sf:string sfa:string="Lucida Grande"/>
</sf:fontName>
<sf:listStyle>
<sf:liststyle-ref sfa:IDREF="SFWPListStyle-2"/>
</sf:listStyle>
<sf:alignment/>
<sf:keepLinesTogether>
<sf:number sfa:number="1" sfa:type="c"/>
</sf:keepLinesTogether>
</sf:property-map>
</sf:paragraphstyle>
Replace "Lucida Grande" by "Palatino-Roman" for instance.
Search for:
<sf:paragraphstyle sfa:ID="SFWPParagraphStyle-86" sf:ident="kSFTCellCommentParagraphStyleID" sf:parent-ident="paragraph-style-default">
<sf:property-map>
<sf:fontSize>
<sf:number sfa:number="11" sfa:type="f"/>
</sf:fontSize>
<sf:fontColor/>
<sf:fontName>
<sf:string sfa:string="Lucida Grande"/>
</sf:fontName>
<sf:listStyle>
<sf:liststyle-ref sfa:IDREF="SFWPListStyle-1"/>
</sf:listStyle>
<sf:alignment/>
<sf:keepLinesTogether>
<sf:number sfa:number="1" sfa:type="c"/>
</sf:keepLinesTogether>
</sf:property-map>
</sf:paragraphstyle>
Replace again "Lucida Grande" by "Palatino-Roman"
Save the file.
Delete the "Index.xml.gz" file.
Open the doc
Save it as a template
When you will use this template to create a new document, the comments will not be using Lucida Grande but Palatino-Roman.
Of course you may choose an other font but take care to get its exact internal name.
