MacOS – How to change default font Notes – Sierra, High Sierra

fontmacosnotes.app

In the actual Notes application there are menu choices for changing the font of a note. However, this doesn't change the default font for new notes. There is also no Preference…/Settings… where the default font can be changed.

Does anyone know how to change the default font of the Notes app on MacOS Sierra and/or High Sierra etc.

Best Answer

Yes. You have to close out of the Notes application and go to the Notes app in the Applications folder. Right-click on the Notes app and select 'Show Contents" From inside the Contents folder open the Resources folder and inside this folder is a folder named en.lproj. This is for the English language. Other similar folders exist for other languages. Inside this folder is a file named DefaultFonts.plist. Edit this file. The file is locked so editing it can be tricky.This link has a full description of how to do it all. The link will fill in missing details.

You were almost there!

Add it in the Language Preferred Fallback List as you did, but make sure you are using the PostScript name for the font. It has to be exact!

<array>
    <!-- for Thai  -->
    <string>th</string>
    <!-- below is the case sensitive PostScript name  -->
    <string>CSPraJad</string>
</array>
