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 :)

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!

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

Thank you, I mean to change the default Font, for example from Arial to another font.

this cannot be changed

  1. Select the Artistic Text Tool, or the Frame Text Tool.
  2. Select the font you want as the default, and (optionally) the font size, etc.
  3. Edit > Defaults > Synchronize from Selection
  4. Edit > Defaults > Save
