How do I change size of default fonts on OS X 10.9.4?

How do I change size of default fonts on OS X 10.9.4?

CS4 does run on Mavericks. The 150:30 error means licensing broke.
Two ways to fix this: If you are used to the Terminal app, you download the license recovery package and following instructions carefully, you use the python script in the package. Error "Licensing has stopped working" | Mac OS
I've done this and it works.
If for some reason it doesn't, reinstall CS4 from your discs, or download the CS4 installer here.

What is the default font for mail in Yosemite?

I upgraded from a previous version of OS X and my mail program uses:
- Message list font: System Font Regular 12
- Message font: Helvetica 12
- Fixed-width font: Menlo Regular 11
Are these the default fonts for a clean install of Yosemite?
Thanks,
- JRS

Yes.

How do I determine what the default font for equations is?

In the Equation Fonts dialog box, we can set the font of Functions, Numbers, Strings, and Variables. In those dropdown lists, there is a Default (para) Font choice. How do I determine what font that is? What paragraph tag is associated with an equation?
With all the choices set to default, numbers types in the equation look similar (but not exact) to the Symbol font, but of course typing letters in the Symbol font reveal greek characters. So is it some derivation of Symbol?

Thanks. That .cfg file shows Times Regular for the following characters, but none of these characters are the regular alphabet, (are they?) so there must be yet another place?
mathchar.cfg    53      < plus        2b Times Regular>
mathchar.cfg    54      < equal       3d Times Regular>
mathchar.cfg    70      < gg          c8 Times Regular>
mathchar.cfg    71      < ll          c7 Times Regular>
mathchar.cfg    93      < fact        21 Times Regular>
mathchar.cfg    94      < dagger      a0 Times Regular>
mathchar.cfg    98      < minus       d0 Times Regular>
mathchar.cfg    106      < uequal      3d Times Regular>
mathchar.cfg    112      < diff        64 Times Regular>
mathchar.cfg    116      < ucomma      2c Times Regular>
mathchar.cfg    117      < semicolon   3b Times Regular>
mathchar.cfg    118      < optotal     64 Times Regular>
mathchar.cfg    127      < power       5e Times Regular>
I've determined (by comparing equation string to body string visually) that Times is in fact the font being used. I just don't see yet how that gets determined. Any further thoughts?

Anyone know how to change the default font for the new pages? Apparently it does not even come up when I search the 'Help' section of Pages. The level of incompetence in this new version seems breathtaking

I cannot find how to change the default font in the new Pages. It does not appear in the Help area when I search for it. I am never sing Helvetica for my standard documents and cannot seem to change it. What am I missing? And why does Pages help not have an easy answer?

You open a blank template and change the font to you liking. Remember to also get all the styles changed with new font. Then Save As Template. Now you have a template with the font you like.

How to Change the Default Font in Firefox 4 ?

How to Change the Default Font in Firefox 4 , for this >>

Go to properties first: and set before typing anything in as shown here:

Then right click bring up this menu while inside active field and click on item with arrrow:
http://screencast.com/t/ZTRjMWRkMzk
Now what ever you typed should reflect the new Font setting.
we may be as you say. But then again other people act like whats on the other side.
We do our best. And if we fall short, well we gave it our best shot.
Okay. In the interests of being completely clear:
I have already tried this. Several times. This procedure will change the default for any of the fields that I place by hand. It does not change the default for any of the fields placed by the Wizard. I was unable to find a solution to the problem in any of the manuals, books, or on-line forums, which is why I posted here as a last resort. This leads to two conclusions:
A. Your advice is incorrect
B. There is a problem with my installation of Acrobat
I will assume that A is not the correct conclusion. I will therefore try a re-install of my software to see if this clears up the problem. There have been other issues with other Adobe software on my machine that a re-installed has fixed nicely. Luckily, I don't have to do this at all often.

How to change the default font (Noteworthy) in Preview Annotation Note ?

How to change the default font (Noteworthy) in Preview > Annotation > Note ?
Thanks for any help guys. Noteworthy is horrible, in my view. But this does not matter. I simply do not want to use it, and woudl be fine with having helvetica back as the annotation typeface.
Neither is Preview responding to changes I attempt in the type menu, nor did I find an entry when using “defaults read com.apple.Preview” in the Terminal.
Any idea? Cheers.

Sorry if this doesn't apply in Mountain Lion (no way to look at ML right now), but I see this in Preview under Mavericks:
I click the annotation button (circled in red) and draw a box. I can then change the text to any active font using the drop down menu (circled in green).

How can I change the default font for the Text Tool in CS5?

Does anyone know of a SIMPLE way to change the default font in CS 5. I can't believe how difficult Adobe makes this. I have spent numerous time on the internet trying to solve this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Thanks Charles, I'm not sure where preferences are, I wish photoshop would
look at this, there should be a simple way to set font preferences. Perhaps
CS 7 will offer a solution. Thanks for your help

How do you change the default font in Illustrator CS5?

I have upgraded my Illustrator to CS5 and my default font has changed to a strange font. In Photoshop and InDesign, I was told that all you have to do is change the font in the Character menu to the font that you wish to be set as "default" and it will be the font that you always start with.
NOTE: Does this mean that if I use a different font in a different document, the font will stay that font unless I change it back? Isn't there a way to make a particular font the font that I would always what I start with? All this setup means, is that the "default font" will always be whatever the last font that was being used was. There has to be a way to make a default font that I will always start with no matter what the last font that was being used was.
Illustrator gives you no option on font type, unless a file is open. Then, if you change the font and close the file, next time you start a file, it will go back to what is was to begin with. There has to be a way to change the default font for all of these programs to where the font always stays the same unless you change it. Mine is just set to use a weird font that I would probably never use.
I just never thought it would be that big of a deal to change default settings for the font.

Okay, I basically made three different documents and I made sure that I had everything chosen in each. I then saved the three to that file and they now appear in the list:
Settings for all 3:
72psi, 150psi and 300psi
Rulers Visable
Times New Roman
12pt
14.4pt
I then went in and started three new documents. I used the three different New Document Profile's that I made and they all had Rulers, their sizes were correct, but the font stayed Myriad Pro. Did I miss anything? And, Yes, I did change the font and the setting before I saved them in the New Document Profile.
One other thing, I did create a file in the folder, but it was spelled incorrectly. I then went into the folder, erased it and made a second. Then, I went to open it in IllustratorCS5 and it was still listed. I went to the file and it wasn't there anymore, but it was still listed in the New Document Profile. Is there a way to get it off of the list or is all I have to do is restart Illustrator?

How do you change the Default Font setting for a HP 6310 all-in-one?

I've had this printer for a couple of years and has worked great, but just recently, the main body of text is shadowed, like a shadow font. If i print from MS word and select my font it prints great, but the default font for printing emails and anything off of the web has this shadow

It has no style so seems to be beyond the user's control.
I've tried changing it to something else and redefining the Free Form style, but it doesn't apply when you create a new comment.
The closest you'll get to what you want is to have a Style that you like and apply it to every comment when you open it, using an FKey shortcut.

How do you change the default font in indesign cs3 on a mac?

Hi, I have tried closing all indesign docs and then changing the font in the font menu to helvetica (from times), then opening a new document and it still gives me [Times (TT)] when i draw a new text box and write something in it.
I have tried quitting indesign and reopening it and its still the old default font of [Times (TT)] - which is also not an available font on my machine.
I have also changed my basic paragraph style to helvetica from times, and it still doesnt change the default font when i open a new document.
When i open a new document in indesign it comes up with helvetica in the character pallet as the font, its just when i go to draw a text box and write something in it that it writes it in Times.

Is it possible you have more than one text frame object style, or that you have some default paragraph style set other than [Basic Paragraph]? If you are only editing Basic Paragraph and your default text frame is set to another syle, or you have another paragraph style selected when you begin typing, you might see this behavior.
If not, try resetting your preferences. Replacing InDesign Preferences

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.
