Hi there! In this video we’re going to learn how
to change the default font to a font of our choice, so let’s get started.
I have this new document open, and when I select the type tool, and make a text box, and let’s type
in ‘Adobe InDesign.’ You can see on top, that by default, the font is set to ‘Minion Pro’,
12 points, and ‘Regular’ style.
Now I never use ‘Minion Pro’, so won’t it be better to set the default font to a font I often
use. Let’s do that. Let’s close this document. When you are at the welcome screen, go to window,
and then workspace, and select ‘Essentials Classic’,
and you’ll land here. This is exactly the same screen we’re introduced to, when we create,
or open a document, except that, at this point, there is no document open.
Ensure that the type tool is selected, and this time when you update the font to any font of your
choice, it will stay updated permanently, so let me chose ‘Museo Sans’ as my preferred font. ‘300’
is the font style, or thickness of the font, and I’d like to have the font size set to 10 points.
Now when I go to file, and then new, and select document,
and then hit create, you can find that the default font has changed already.
Let’s make a text box, and then right-click, and fill it with some placeholder text,
and there you go, the default font, the font style, and the font size are all updated,
as per our settings, so that’s how you can easily update the default font in InDesign.
Alright guys! That concludes our session, so I’m going to see you in just a moment. Good bye!
