Hi there! In this video we’re going to learn how  

2
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:13,920
to change the default font to a font 
of our choice, so let’s get started.

3
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:20,000
I have this new document open, and when I select 
the type tool, and make a text box, and let’s type  

4
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:26,080
in ‘Adobe InDesign.’ You can see on top, that 
by default, the font is set to ‘Minion Pro’,  

5
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:30,000
12 points, and ‘Regular’ style.

6
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:35,840
Now I never use ‘Minion Pro’, so won’t it be 
better to set the default font to a font I often  

7
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:43,200
use. Let’s do that. Let’s close this document. 
When you are at the welcome screen, go to window,  

8
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:47,360
and then workspace, and 
select ‘Essentials Classic’,  

9
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:53,520
and you’ll land here. This is exactly the same 
screen we’re introduced to, when we create,  

10
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,840
or open a document, except that, at 
this point, there is no document open.

11
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:04,000
Ensure that the type tool is selected, and this 
time when you update the font to any font of your  

12
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:11,760
choice, it will stay updated permanently, so let 
me chose ‘Museo Sans’ as my preferred font. ‘300’  

13
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:18,800
is the font style, or thickness of the font, and 
I’d like to have the font size set to 10 points.

14
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,840
Now when I go to file, and 
then new, and select document,  

15
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:29,360
and then hit create, you can find that 
the default font has changed already.  

16
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,400
Let’s make a text box, and then right-click, 
and fill it with some placeholder text,  

17
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:40,800
and there you go, the default font, the font 
style, and the font size are all updated,  

18
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:46,160
as per our settings, so that’s how you can 
easily update the default font in InDesign.

19
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:53,840
Alright guys! That concludes our session, so 
I’m going to see you in just a moment. Good bye!
