I have tried to change the font from Helvetica to Times New Roman in Notes without success. I can change during one work session, but the changes are not saved: when I reopen the file, everything is in Helvetica again.
Is there a way to change the font and have the change saved?

Hi Bill,
I do not believe iFamily saves the font info as that would require all installations to have the same font set (well the ones you have selected) making it a Word processor rather than a text handler.
Possible to do, but I guess Keith's KISS principle applied.
Your Subject line also included reports.
I generate mine in TextEdit (in Rich Text Mode) and you can make changes to the fonts there and save the file. This should keep the changes - I do not believe you can change the default fonts it uses when creating the initial document.
Hope that helps.

Thanks, Nigel. It's odd that Keith allowed changing fonts in the cards in the main pane but not anywhere else. I successfully changed them from the default (Helvetica?) to Times New Roman a long time ago. I prefer a serif font for most text because the serifs make reading easier. Maybe in a future update or upgrade this will be possible.
