Change the Default Font in Apple's Pages
October 16, 2007 | | Comments (0)

That title is a little misleading because you can't actually change the default font in Apple's Pages. I find that very frustrating because I find Gill Sans to be much more pleasing to the eye than Helvetica. Although you can't change the default font you can implement a simple work around that achieves the same effect as say setting a new default font in Microsoft Word would.

1. Open a blank document in Pages
2. Set your font settings to whatever you want the new default to be
3. Save this document as a template
4. Go into Preferences (General Preferences specifically)
5. In the "For New Documents" section click the button for "Use template:"
6. Click the choose button and select the template you saved a few steps ago
