Although I have used Options to set the default font as Tahoma 11 (several times), text appears as Calibri 11.  How can I change the default font?

Hi,

When you change the default font to Tahoma 11, will it change back to Calibri 11 when you come back to File > Option again?

Note: Your new default font choice applies only to new pages. Existing notes wont automatically be reformatted.

Also, if you keep typing in the same container in one page, it will keep using the same font you used in the container.

In addition, we can try to edit the registry to change the default font for OneNote to check if it will change back again. To do this, open your registry editor and locate:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\OneNote\Options\Editing

Registry Values to control the font and size are:

Name: DefaultFontFace

Type: REG_SZ

Value: Tahoma

Name: DefaultFontSize

Type: DWORD

Value: 11

Hope this helps.

Best Regards,
