blackstone Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Hello. Is there a possibility, when starting the designer or publisher, that the default Arial font is replaced by another font Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted November 5, 2020 Staff Share Posted November 5, 2020 Hi @blackstone, I'm not quite sure what you're asking here, my apologies. Are you wondering if Arial was uninstalled and you opened a document that used that font, would it be replaced? Or are you asking if you can change the default font in use to not be Arial? Thanks in advance Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time. Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible. Many thanks!

h_d Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Yes, but as far as I'm aware you can't edit the "No Style" styles which are used by default when you create a new text frame. So you'll need to edit your paragraph and character styles with the font you need, then in the Text Styles panel click the "Hamburger" menu and choose Save Styles as Default: I then drew a random text frame, set the paragraph and text styles to my edited "Body" and "Body text" styles, and then from the Edit menu chose Defaults - Save: Now, every time I draw a new text frame in a new document, its default font is American Typewriter. Hope this helps, H Quote Affinity Photo 2.0.3, Affinity Designer 2.0.3, Affinity Publisher 2.0.3, Mac OSX 13, 2018 MacBook Pro 15" Intel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
