Script UI default font on a Mac?

Hi,
I'd like to know what the default font is on the Mac for ScriptUI
windows, when targeting the ESTK.
For Windows it's SegoeUI.
The following script should return the font:
w = new Window("dialog");
alert(w.graphics.font);
Could someone with a Mac do me a favour and run that script from the
ESTK, with the ESTK targeted? An indication of ESTK version would be
helpful as well, I guess, if it's changed in the course of the various CS's.
Many thanks,
Ariel

Shane, the JS Tool guide does not mention these standard fonts by name; SUI for Dummies mentions 'dialog', 'window', and 'palette'. (I have no idea where Peter Kahrel got those names from.) All three of'em return "Lucida Grande:13" on my Mac (CS4).
None of the others you suggested return anything useful -- it just echoes the same word, which is SUI's way of saying "whatever you want, dude" for a font name it does not recognize:

POI default font size

Hello, I am using the POI API to generate an Excel workbook. Is there a way to apply a font size over the entire workbook? or at least on a sheet by sheet basis? For instance, it seems to always default the size to 10, but I'd like it to be 8 pt.

Installed fonts (mac Default font) in my Font Book doesn't show up in photoshop CC

Hello, I'm in trouble with fonts.
I'm using mac OS X 10.9.4 mavericks.
I want to use 'HanziPen SC' which is already installed in my Font book but it doesn't show up in photoshop CC.
It has been default font since mavericks, maybe.
And I have same situation in AI as well.
I've already tried to clear cache and reboot photoshop but it didn't work to me.
Does anyone help me?

Thank you for your kindness!
It was solved!
But in my case, the reason why it didn't show up was veeeery stupid...
I checked out Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CC/CT Font Cache/Adobe_Fnt_OSFont.lst
Then, there was 'HanziPen SC' and I found out surprising fact!
Its Writing script was 'Chinese'!!
So I couldn't find 'HanziPen' even though I typed 'HanziPen'.
It has been shown up in Chinese...
What I did is to over write WritingScript,FamilyNameNative,StyleNameNative,FullNameNative to Japanese.
I don't know why it happened to me at all. but anyway, finally I was able to see the one in photoshop CC.
Again, Thank you for your kindness. If you didn't suggested about cache files, I might have not found out the answer.
Thank you!!!!

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

I guss you figured it out, but I already did the screen shots, so I'll post anyway.
Once you have your simple font templates created, it's just 3 clicks and a select away ( okay 5 clicks total ).

Default font directory for Flash CS3 on Mac OS X?

Thanks for popping in, but after hours of reinstalling and upgrading stuff, I'm finally where I need to be. Apparently, something went wonky with my Mac's font system, and it took me forever to clean everything up. But I think I'm golden now. Thanks!

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.

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.

Is there any way to change the default font for outgoing text-messages, in "Messages"? (OSX 10.10)

Is there any way to change the default font for outgoing text-messages, in "Messages"?
I can change it for one conversation, but then it resets to the default, tiny font.
The preferences menu only lets me change the conversation font.
(OSX 10.10)

Hi,
As you may remember there used to be a Messages pane to the Preferences where the Font and colour of the Balloons or background and the Font text colour could be changed.
And there was a Format Menu for character, word and Sentence changes in the current IM or iMessage.
Those have gone in Yosemite's version of Messages (Despite it retaining the designation of Messages 8 the same as Mavericks' version).
All that can be done now is set the size of the font and this has been moved to the General Section of the Preferences.
The Yosemite version has also been fixed to using the Balloons style of send and receiving any type of messages as well.
Changing the Font would involved editing the Balloon.transcript file.

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.
It is also available for free on my iDisk:

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.
Daniel

This still does not work.
I tried all of them.

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???
