Change a note's font in Notes on iPhone 3.0
Authored by: Stormchild on Jun 19, '09 11:17:04AM

"I went to one of my notes in Mail.app, selected all the text, brought up the font panel (Command-T) and chose Arial."

You mean you chose HELVETICA, right? Or do you need to be slapped repeatedly with a trout?

By the way, there's also a setting in Mail's preferences for the default font for notes (it's under Fonts & Colors). It's not necessary to manually change the font in every note.

LOL - great post, x2.
You don't need to do anything more than change the preference, and any time you can put "trout" in the hints threads, it's classic.

Change a note's font in Notes on iPhone 3.0
Authored by: Doc Drang on Jun 23, '09 01:11:46PM

Just to clarify, changing the default Notes font in Mail doesn't change the default Notes font on the iPhone—new notes created on the iPhone will still be in Marker Felt.

To get around this problem, I "preload" my iPhone with several notes in the font I like by creating several notes with that font in Mail with top lines of "Note A," "Note B," and so on. After a sync, these essentially blank notes with the font I want are sitting on my iPhone, ready to be edited.

It should be noted (sorry) that some fonts don't work well in Notes because their line spacing doesn't match the line spacing in Notes's background graphic. I've shown several examples here.
