Setting a default font

I want to set a default font for my out going emails. However, when I go into preferences and select fonts and set the message font, it changes it for all income messages as well.
Is there a way to set the font for outgoing emails to have a different default font than the messages I view in my mailboxes?
thanks and Happy New Year!
Michelle

it seems this is not an option.

How to set a default font

Hiya!
I'm making a flyer in inDesign and i want to set a default font to run throughout the document whenever i create a text box. I also want the font size to be set at 10pt all the time. Does anyone know how to do this?
Also - i have a template for the flyer which includes a border and table.... i want to be able to open this as a template for each flyer, which i can then fill in with information. Is this possible?
Any pointers would be super appreciated.
thanks

Just deselect any item in the document you are working on and set your font and other variables in the font window/bar. Thats all. If you wish to set a standard font for all new document, than close all documents and set the things. This works for almost everything.

How do I set a default Font in Muse

Is there a way to set a default font in Muse

Hey,
Currently there's no UI for changing the default text or graphic attributes for newly created text frames or rectangles.
Kind of a workaround would be to define a paragraph style and a graphic style that meets your requirements and apply it to each newly created text frame.

How do I set the default font in Acrobat XI Pro?

I would like to enquire how I can set a default font in Acrobat XI Pro.

What exactly are you referring to? Generally there is no such thing, but some tools allow certain defaults to be set...

Setting the default font

Hey,
I was just wondering if there is a way to set the default font to whatever you want. It is especially frustrating for footnotes (no matter how many times you change the font of your footnotes, every subsequent footnote is created in the default Helvetica).
I've looked around in Help and such but can't find any option to set the default font.
Thank you!
Jesse.

I described several time ways to do that.
It requires surgery in the index.xml file describing the used template.
Assuming that the used template is Blank.template.
Create a new document using it.
Save it as my_Blank.pages.
Using the scheme which I described many times, open its index.xml file.
To do that I use the free TextWrangler.
Search for "footnote" to reach this block of code :
You see the entry spelled <sf:fontName/>
Edit it as :
<sf:fontName>
<sf:string sfa:string="LucidaGrande"/>
</sf:fontName>
to get :
Of course, you may use an other fontname.
The rule is to use the official internal fontname.
I already posted a long list of such names.
Save the edited index.xml file
If the original document contained a index.xml.gz file, remove it so that when you will open the doc it will be forced to use the edited index.
Create a new document
Leave it empty and save it as a custom template : my_Blank.template in the dedicated folder.
Each time you will create a document starting from this template, the footnotes will be automatically created using LucidaGrande
Some lines below the fontName descriptor is the fontSize one.
The default one is :
<sf:fontSize>
<sf:number sfa:number="10" sfa:type="f"/>
</sf:fontSize>
You may edit it as
<sf:fontSize>
<sf:number sfa:number="9" sfa:type="f"/>
</sf:fontSize>
or an other integer value so the footnotes will default to this fontSize.
Of course, double check what you do.
When you will be satisfied of the result, maybe you will wish to edit the inthebox template.
It may be done but it's an other story.

HT2509 Can I set a default font to all my emails on iCloud?

How do I set a default font for all my outgoing emails on iCloud?

G'day 5508,
Some thoughts. Try System settings first (this may not be the culprit).
System Preferences > Language and Region > Advanced > Currency > Australian Dollar
I can only adjust the currency cell by cell, column by column page by page.
Forgive my stupidity, but if the currency is a cell format in the template, can you select all currency cells at once, then change the currency? You will have to do this separately for each Table, but within a Table, you can select a range of cells. Quicker than cell by cell.
Once you have reformatted the document that emerged from that template, save the document as a template with the same name to overwrite the old template.
Hope this helps, mate.
Regards,
Ian.

CMDLET commands regarding setting a default font for all users using OWA on an exchange 2010 platform

HI,
We are running Exchange 2010 and are migrating users from 2003 to 2010 with no problems. The client has asked me to set OWA font to LuidaSans which I can do for individuals with no problems. However, when I try and run the following command
Get-Mailbox -Resultsize Unlimited | Set-MailboxMessageConfiguration -LucidaSans but then got a message to state
"property composefontname can't be set on this object becuase it requires the object to have version 0.1 <8.0.535.0> or later. The object's currant version is 0.0 <6.5.6500.0>"
What object is this reffered to? Can anyone help please?
Thanks
Paul

Hi,
To set a default font for all users, you can use this command: -
Get-Mailbox | Set-MailboxMessageConfiguration -DefaultFontName "Trebuchet"
You can use any font style in place of “Trebuchet”.
I hope this information will be helpful for you.
Thanks and regards

How do I set a default font?

How do I set a default font that will be used every time I open a new table? Now I get Helvetica Neue 10 pt. I want Arial 13pt.

F,
Create a Template to be saved as a custom template in My Templates, then always choose to begin new spreadsheet documents with that template, in Preferences. Prior to saving this custom template, create a table with the font and other features to your liking, then Capture it for future use. Make that table the one that the template opens with, and when you add tables later, you may select that custom table, just as you would have chosen from the built-in optional table arrangements.

How can i set a default font for premiere cs6

I am hoping to find a way to set a default font for cs6. I work for a company where i need to use Meta book. Every time I create a new title/text slide, i have to change the font to meta book. is there a way to make meta book the font that always comes up(as a default) when i go to create a new title/text

You set up your font in the Title Properties then go the panel (dropdown) menu of the Title Styles and select New Style.

How can I set the default font in tables

I am using Pages "09 4.3. I use Myriad in Table cells and have to change the font in about 6 cells in a table before Pages accepts that is the one to use. I would like to be able to determine the default font in one operation when I first set the document up. Does anyone know if this can be done and how please?

Find out what the Paragraph Style is that is used in the table by selecting some text. Change it to what you want.
Open the Styles Drawer > click on the red arrow next to the style > Update it > When you are finished save it as a Template

Is it possible to set the default font in Pages with Workgroup Manager?

School district. We use iWorks '09 (currently) and several teachers would like the default font for all students to be a specific font (Comic Sans because of the shape of the letter 'a' and the number '4').
I know about creating the template and using the template, but that must be done for all student accounts, and must be done again for any incoming new students.
I would prefer there to be a way of setting this in WorkGroup Manager? I don't see that it is possible though. Or am I missing something?

You might also consider using color groups with Illustrator. Let me know what you think. It may help you out with projects that use the same color preferences.
Check out the tutorial here:

How to set Blank default font

<blockquote>Locking duplicate thread. 
Please continue here: [[/questions/933819]]</blockquote>
I need firefox to read certain barcodes and it was only showing numbers. I'm not sure how but the default fonts was changed to a blank but after that the barcodes started reading! How do I set it like that for future cases?

You are missing the point.
Mark or select is not the point. anyone goes.
The point is that a font SELECTED in a document does not set it default.
You have MARK, SECLECT OR WHATEVER the font in Type > Font to make it default.
That was the point.
/Larry
I think you have a different interpretation of what it means to "select" or "mark" a font. You cannot do either of those things in the text itself by dragging the text tool -- that selects the text that has been entered. The "selected" font in use will be shown in either the Character or Control panel (as well as in the dropdown for fonts), and it is in one of these palces that you select a font to use as the default. It has nothing to do with selecting text, other than if you want to change the font applied to a particular bit of text you have selected.
Kind of an all-purpose, context-sensitive term.

Set a default Font for a whole Swing application?

Hi,
Is it possible to set "Courier" as the default font for a whole swing application?
I seem to have gotten lost here, could someone give me some pointers please?
Thank You,
-Uday

So it needs to be done right at the beginningYes.
Is there a code sample i can look at for reference and a standard way of doing this.I've seen examples posted in the forum the use the UIManager.getDefaults() method and then iterate through the defaults looking for all properties that end with ".font" and then replace the font as required.

Setting application default font

I have tried to search the Sun Java site for detailed info on this but haven't got anywhere.
I have an application (Java 1.3) which will be hosted on a UNIX JVM, but displayed on a Windows2000 m/c. The only LookAndFeel available is the Metal one, and the default font is a rather chunky Dialog font.
I want a font more like the W2000 font (arial or helvetica I think).
Is it possible to change this in the UIManager/LookAndFeel?
I have seen some talk in similar threads about discovering font property keys, thne using these to ally a Font object to a certain class of component (e.g labels, panels etc).
Has anyone done anything similar, and if so can you please spell it out for me!
Kind regards,
Dave

I took a little bit from both of the examples and I put together a new class that allows the user to choose what font to apply to all or, individual components. I thought that it might be helpful to other people.
enjoy :)
