Establishing default Font & Font Size

Is there a way to control the default font & font size when creating a new text box?
Whenever I create a new text box it populates with Ariel font size 14 but
I would prefer, for example, to start with Times New Roman size 12.
Anyway to do this without having to correct this each time?

I usually start out by adding a couple of text boxes to the page - each with an X in them. These are highlighted and I select the font and size for each - say 15pt for text and 16pt for sub headings.
Then I duplicate them a couple of times before entering all the real mumbo jumbo.

  • How to change the default font size in X11?

    I was a PC/linux user and have switched to use Mac lately (MBP Snow leopard 10.6.8).
    Everything's been running perfectly on Mac so far and I really like it, until I have to run some programs on XQuartz/X11 (XQuart 2.7.0).  
    The default font size in the Xterm is too small. And I hate it that I have to change it everytime i open a new terminal (via vt fonts menu, ctrl+right-mouse click).
    Is there a way to change the default font size "permanently" in XQuartz/X11 ??
    This may be a stupid question to ask in the developer forum but i cant really solve it.
    There's only config. file ~/.Xdefaults they have mentioned so far on Google but i really cant find it regarding to the directorty.
    Thank you very much in advance.

    You would be surprised to find out that is not like this, to get your account blocked you really need to do a lot of damage and posts are not removed unless they are illegal, and *always* it needs more than a person to delete something. That's a site managed by the community, not by some people put in place by a company.
    It is always acceptable to link to external resources as long these resources do provide additional usefull information. Clearly the thread on that side contained much more information than the one here. I observed people linking from there to this forum, but it's not so common, and that's not due to the policy, just because here is more chat and less usefull information.... you will not see endless threads of replies on with "yes, I have the same problem" there.
    Shortly, this is "discussions" and is quite different in approach than the SE model, where everythign is aimed towards getting the be answers UP and removing all the nonsense.
    I wish that Apple would invest more in discussion, and going towards making this more practical.

  • My default font size is set at 18px. Is this the default default font size for all users of ff 3.6+?

    I was developing a site in ff when I noticed other browsers were rendering the font size smaller than in firefox. Upon investigation I discovered that my ff 3.6 default font was Adobe Caslon Pro Bold 18px.
    I have never deliberately set this. My understanding was that all browsers default default font size was 16px.
    Has ff default font size changed from 16px to 18px?

    You're welcome.
    You can also see preferences that have changed as bold (user set) values on the about:config page.<br />

  • How do I set default font size?

    Some programs (most importantly for me, Thunderbird) use a default font size that is too small for my eye comfort. Some (such as Firefox) allow me to change the font size, but Thunderbird does not (though there is a menu item to change font size, which does not work).
    I gather that such programs are using a default system font size. So I would like to change this. Some Help articles suggested that I could do this from the Font Panel, but they give no indication where to find the Font Panel. I cannot find it in System Preferences or via the Spotlight.
    I am using OS X 10.4.7
    I am computer-literate, but new to the Mac, having had this computer for about a week and a half.
    P.S. In Thunderbird -> Preferences -> Fonts there is an option to configure the fonts used by Thunderbird. The settings affect messages, but not the main window with the message list. However, at this point I'd really like to set the system default so all programs that use the system default will be affected.
    Thanks.

    This still does not work.
    I tried all of them.
    Theme Font & Size Changer
    Big Buttons
    Default FullZoom Level
    NoSquint.
    It only works for that page of that web site, as soon as you leave you start all over again.
    Can't we just say Firefox messed up and needs to revert to the way it used to work without have to do ANYTHING to adjust any sizing.
    This is utterly ridiculous.
    It's a web browser for GOD sakes...not the OS. It shouldn't be doing anything but displaying web sites with NO INTERVENTION by the user for each and every page.
    Why are programers always looking for ways to take a working product and make it useless???

  • Default font size for message buttons

    I am using Office/Powerpoint 2012 and Adobe Presenter 8.
    When a quiz question is created all of the elements use formatting from the theme, default shape, default text box etc. The appearance tab formatting can only be applied AFTER the quiz has been created and these settings are ignored when the quiz question is created.
    I can manage all of the formats using power point formatting EXCEPT for the font size on the message buttons! It is always sized to 18pt. I am forced to navigate back to the appearance tab and "apply formatting to all existing quizzes".
    It's not all that time consuming but it is an extra step that could be eliminated if i could only find how to set this default font size!!
    The font size i am trying to default to is Calibri 16.
    The font that is applied to new message buttons is Calibri 18.
    Any idea how this can be accomplished?
    p.s. Is it also possible to change the position of the buttons?

    Hi,
    You need to change the Quiz message font using the the Appearance tab in Quiz. There is no other way.
    Also , you may change both the orientation as well as the position of buttons using the Appearance tab in Quiz.
    Goto Appearance->button placement->Orientation
    Appearance->button placement->Position on slide
    Thanks,

  • "enlarge default font size"

    Between early cataracts and not being able to get computer glasses made right.  I am tryingn to figure out how to enlarge the default font size for text in all (most?) of Safari.  When I click on the "make the font larger" feaure [A/A], it makes headlines scream and doesn't do all that much for reading.
    If I am finding the correct place at which one would normall deal with it, the alternatives that seem to work best  for me have disappeared.  I believe I had set it manually set to 15, but once I tried to change it, it would only go back to up to 14 and then 18, which is too big.   It would be great if someone could help me with this.  Thanks.
    I'm using Mountain Lion 10.8.4 and am almost sorry I upgraded.

    These Terminal commands allow you to change the fonts and sizes in Safari 6 in Mountain Lion. You might have to empty caches (enable Develop menu in Safari 6) to see the result and remove the css setting (to "nothing selected"). Font names with spaces need to be between quotation marks. Change yours accordingly.
    Full example for proportional font:

  • Default font size for Text screen in customer document

    We use the text function to enter additional customer data for customer invoice correspondence. The data is pasted from a Word document onto an existing invoice document using menu Extras - Texts - select Correspondence then paste.
    Once pasted the tab funstion is used to line up the data.
    The default font within the 'Text' screen is different from the default font used in the correspondence. This causes a misalighnment of the text when printing the invoice.
    How do I change the default font size in the 'Text' screen. This is probably more of a techie than functional uestion. The SAP screen is SAPLSTXX (via either FB03 or FBl5N)

    Open Mail application
    On the top menu choose Mail and then preferences
    Choose *Fonts and Colors*
    Opposite *Message Font* click on the Select button
    A fonts menu will pop up and from there (at the top) choose the Text Color you want.
    Close the open menus and you will then have the default font color for your message font.

  • Default font size for a value in a table in Answers

    Hi,
    I am trying to set a default font size for a column of table view in Answers, so that when I create a new report, this default font size is used. Can someone please point me to the file where I can make this change?
    Thanks

    Well if you have a tag like this:
    element.style {
    background-color:#FFFFFF;
    font-size:9px;
    It means it's coming from the formatting in the request in Answers...not from a style sheet! You'll note in Firebug, that there's actually no *.css file mentionned. I.e. example from here:
    element.style {
    color:#00AF00;
    .OORD {views.css (line 1574)
    text-align:right;
    .PTE {views.css (line 1077)
    background-color:#FFFFFF;
    First part element.style comes from my conditional formatting and doesn't reference any css file
    The other two elements are from the views.css which control my pivot table.
    See the difference?
    Cheers,
    C.

    When you find non-junk has been erroneously considered to be junk, you have to tell iCloud.com about that particular mis-assignment by logging into your iCloud account on the website and following this procedure:
    "Indicate that an email message isn’t junk
    Click the Junk folder in the sidebar.
    Select a message, then click the Not Junk button in the top right of the message window.
    The message is moved to your Inbox. Subsequent email messages from the same sender are no longer automatically marked as junk."
    Elsewhere in Apple's help system, they say
    "You can also use the Mail app to mark messages as junk so that later messages from the same sender are automatically marked as junk:
    In OS X, select the message and click the Junk (thumbs down) icon in the Mail toolbar."
    They do not say that you can use Mail.app to unflag junk ("report false positives") by clicking the Not Junk (thumbs down) icon, but they also do not say that you cannot. I'm not sure whether that works.
    Frankly it makes no sense to have to log on to iCloud to do this, when the very same features (i.e., "Mark as Junk" and "Mark as Not Junk") are built into Mail.app -- but don't reliably appear when messages are falsely marked as junk.
    Bottom line: Although I love my Apple products, this is another one of the many features that's been broken for years -- and somehow just isn't imporant enough to Apple to fix.

  • Default font size for exporting CSS styles?

    People
    I make the layout of websites in indesign cs3 with all text properly set to be defined by paragraph styles.
    I then export to an epub file from which i can extract a css file. Problem is all sizes are in em units.
    Those em's seem based on 12pt, while the default font size of most (all?) browsers is 16pt.
    For example:
    p.body {
         font-family: "Verdana";
         line-height: 1.64em;
         font-size: 0.92em;
         margin-bottom: 0.00em;
         margin-top: 0.77em;
         text-indent: 0.00em;
         margin-right: 0.00em;
         margin-left: 0.00em;
         text-align: left;
         font-weight: normal;
         font-style: normal;
         color: rgb(0,0,0);
    The correct font size (the one set in indesign) should be 11pt. In the css file i get 0.92em. (so  indesign assumed 1em = 12pt)
    With a browser default size of 16pt, the text displays too big: 1em = 16pt so 0,92em = 14,72pt.
    In other words: all text is displayed to big, text that should be 11pt is displayed at 14pt.
    So is there a way to tell indesign when exporting css 1em = 16pt instead of 12pt?
    I tried adjusting the default paragraph font size to 16pt (it is 12 pt by default) and base the body paragraph style onto this one, but the css file doesn't change.
    Thanks for any help!

    Well i found a workarround on another forum.
    Instead of making indesign think 1em = 16pt, make the browser think 1em=12pt.
    Adding this line of code to the css file makes the font sizes in indesign and website match:
    body  {
        font-size: 0.75em;

    BT Mail has turned out to be very basic. Unless and until it's enhanced, an email client such as Thunderbird is the way to overcome this issue. It's probably a safer option than webmail for most users anyway.

  • Droid HTC Incredible - default font size

    This is a big issue for us baby-boomers who don't want to resort back to a Blackberry or even a dumb cell phone.  There is NO WAY to change the default font size for the Incredible.  I've read many posts on the Android Forums about it, but Verizon has to put pressure on HTC or OS to change this.  It's nearly impossible to send a text with the default as it currently is.  Other apps i.e. Handcent can change the font after the message is sent - or on received text messages - but not while you're in process of typing it.  Something has to be done, a real shortcoming!!!!

    Try a keyboard app.
