How do I change the default font color on Mail?

I want the words in my messages to be a certain color, so what am I doing wrong? First I go on preferences, to fonts & colors, hit select on message list font, and it pulled up a window with all the fonts and stuff. Then I click on the color icon thing which brings up another window for me to choose the color. So I choose the color and close that window and all the other ones. But when I start a new message, the font is black. Is there something I need to do differently? Thanks!

Hello Apple... is anyone monitoring and responding?
For years I have been manually changing the font and font color on every outgoing mail as an element of Corporate Identity.
Apple Mail offers great features like smart mailboxes - but this is still not fixed!
Universal Mailer (http://universalmailer.github.io/UniversalMailer/) forces font, size and color, but does not display it in the window of the outgoing mail. Can be misleading!
Spoiling the ship for a ha'porth of tar!
Apple, please fix!

How can I change the default text color (black to blue) in Mail on out going email with Mountain Lion

There really aren't default outgoing font settings. They are only there for viewing. A workaround I have seen mentioned is to start you signature with the font style you want to use. When you start your message, click in that first part of your signature.
Something like

How do I change the default window color?

Having white screens is too bright for my eyes!! I always change the default window color in Windows (hiss hiss) to a light shade of gray and that setting carries thru to all windows (i.e. Word, Excel, notepad....). Is it possible to do a similar thing with Tiger? I see that I can choose between a couple of "schemes" from a "Desktop and Dashboard Settings" area (or similar - i don't have my mac here now so can't look to see the proper name) but I see no way to alter colors within those schemes. If you can tell me how to change the default color for my windows I will be awfully happy. thanks.

Personally, I wouldn't trust it, and I don't hesitate to try these things most of the time even though they sometimes cause problems. But I've used Unsanity products before and they all require installing a preference pane called APE; Application Enhancement module, and that thing caused me lots of problems for my system, lots of crashes and flakiness. I won't use it again.
But I'm sure there are lots of people using it happily, but if you don't feel confident in dealing with system problems stay away from anything that adds a system preference pane or goes up in the top menu bar at the top (Apple icons excepted) or has to start up with the system.

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 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 do I change the default font in Comments?

I'm a professor and I grade papers with the Pages' Comments feature. I would like to change the default font and font size for Comments when doing Tracking so that my comments consistently use the same font and font size no matter what font the student has used in their paper. The only way I can do that now is to change each individual comment. Is there a way to do that globally? Thanks!

I apologize but I know that this question was asked and answered several times (I wrote the answers).
So, taking time to search in the existing threads with a request like :

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 Outlook 2013?

I am trying to set the default font in Outlook 2013 as per the customer's request and am having no success.
First I create a NormalEmail.dotm file and added it to the Office Customization Tool, created an msp and added it to my package. After installing Office 2013 I check and the NormalEmail.dotm
is on the machine in %appdata%\Microsoft\Templates folder waiting to be loaded. When launching Outlook 2013 on first run it renames my NormalEmail.dotm to NormalEmail15Pre.dotm. I created the file in Word 2013 so it's not a 2010 version and it (NormalEmail15Pre.dotm)
open cleanly in Word 2013 (it does not open in compatibility mode). If I close Outlook and rename NormalEmail15Pre.dotm back to NormalEmail.dotm Outlook opens and uses my template without any issue. This is not a solution as I have 1000's of deployments
and can't do this manually. One other thing, I did have this same problem with the default font in Word 2013 but by implementing a registry setting (HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Word\Options\MigrateNotmalOnFirstBoot = 1) it used my Normal.dotm
template on first run, if such a setting exists for Outlook I can't find it.
Also I did try to set the font through the mailsettings (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\MailSettings) in the registry as we did with O2007 and O2010 but
those do not load into Outlook when tweaked.

Thank you for your help.

Hi, I found out how you can set it.
You need two registry keys to be set in order to keep the preloaded settings.(HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\MailSettings)
These are:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\LanguageResources]
"LangTuneUp"="OfficeCompleted"
"OutlookChangeInstallLanguage"="Yes"
both are String entries.

How do I change the default fonts on Firefox for Android version 21?

Is it possible to restore the default fonts from earlier versions of Firefox to use on web pages for version 21 instead of using the new shipped Open Sans and Charis fonts?

Smo,
That is incorrect, you can change the fonts used in content to your own choosing albeit only through advanced about:config preferences. This is not recommended.
Change these in about:config;
*font.name.serif.x-user-def
*font.name.sans-serif.x-user-def
*font.name.sans-serif.x-user-def
*font.name.monospace.x-user-def
*font.name-list.sans-serif.x-user-def
*font.name-list.sans-serif.x-user-def
*font.name.serif.x-western
*font.name.sans-serif.x-western
*font.name.sans-serif.x-western
*font.name.monospace.x-western
*font.name-list.sans-serif.x-western
*font.name-list.sans-serif.x-western
I've never tried changing these so you are at your own risk here.

How do I change the default font In Pages 08

When I open a new blank document the Font is Helvica. I want Verdana to be the default. This seems like a dumb question, but I can't see any way to do it. Thanks for any help.

You need to create your own default template. Set up your document with the margins, headers, etc. as you'd like. Redefine all of the paragraph & character styles to have your desired font.
While you're at it, you might want to set default styles for all objects, text boxes, tables, paragraph styles, etc. Start with a blank document & insert an object. Change the color, wrap, etc. to your choosing & then go to Format > Advanced > Define Default Shape Style then delete the object. Repeat with an image/photo, a text box & a table. Now, save this as a template then, in Pages > Preferences, select this template as the default for new documents. All of your new documents will have these settings for inserted objects, images & tables. Unfortunately, the settings won't apply to any other templates or "foreign" documents you open with Pages.

How do I change the default font for foot/end notes in Pages 09?

The fonts for notes in Pages seems fixed to Helvetica, even when the font for the body has been changed. I've been able to save the font for the body by saving it as a tempate, but it doesn't seem to work for the notes. Any help?

looked several times in the index.xml describing the docs.
A new note descriptor starts with :
<sf:p sf:style="kSFWPFootnoteTextStyleIdentifier">
If we change something to the note attributes the app replace the default style by a custom one. For instance, it may be :
<sf:p sf:style="SFWPParagraphStyle-68">
My first attempt was to insert a font descriptor in the default style.
Alas, for the app, such descriptor is pure garbage and it delete it.
Second attempt was to try to find the descriptor of the font used by default.
At last, I discovered that the app use in fact the font described by the resouirce named : FONT_Helvetica in the Blank template.
I choose to use HoeflerText-Regular so I applied this scheme.
(1) navigate to the file
Macintosh HD:Applications:iWork '09:Pages.app:Contents:Resources:Templates:Blank.template:Contents:Resources:fr .lproj:Localizable.strings
(2) to play safety, duplicate it
(3) drag it on the Desktop bercause the System don't allow us to edit it.
(4) When it's on the desktop, if you installed the developers tools double click the file's icon.
If you didn't, drag & drop its icon on TextEdit's one.
(5) Near the bottom, you will find the line :
"FONT_Helvetica" = "Helvetica";
edit it as :
"FONT_Helvetica" = "HoeflerText-Regular";
(6) Save the file on the Desktop,
(7) Move it back in its original folder.
I described the process for the French language (which use fr.lproj)
For other languages, replace fr.lproj by the item of this liost matching your language :
da.lproj
de.lproj
en.lproj
es.lproj
fi.lproj
fr.lproj
it.lproj
ja.lproj
ko.lproj
nl.lproj
no.lproj
pl.lproj
pt_PT.lproj
pt.lproj
ru.lproj
sv.lproj
zh_CN.lproj
zh_TW.lproj
Have fun.
Oops, of course Pages is supposed to be closed when you do that.

How do i change the incoming font size in mail on the iphone 4s

I have just set up my new Iphone 4s
and I cant find the setting to change the font size for my email its so small i cant read it

I think this is because some people send email in HTML or Rich Text, and they control the fonts and sizing. iOS will only show the large font if the messages are sent in Plain Text.
