Add default fonts to Notes

Notes only offers three default fonts, and there is no GUI option to change these or add others. You can, however, add fonts by editing a plist file.

Open /Applications/Notes.app/Contents/Resources/en.lproj/DefaultFonts.plist (or the equivalent for the language you use), and you'll see three sets of text like this:

	<dict>
		<key>FontName</key>
		<string>Noteworthy-Light</string>
		<key>Size</key>
		<integer>15</integer>
	</dict>
Copy one of them, paste it at the below those three sections, and add your preferred font and size. Note that you can specify the weight with "-Light," "-Bold," etc. Save the file, relaunch Notes, and choose your new default font from Format > Font > Default Font.
