    NotePad is stuck at 18pt font


    Hi,I have Windows 11 on a desktop computer with all updates installed.I use NotePad all the time. Yesterday, I copied and pasted something into NotePad and it pasted it at 18pt font. I went into Edit > Font Size and it was set at 12. I then highlighted the text and chose 12pt but it remained at 18pt. Since I couldn't edit it, I left it alone.However, every time NotePad opens, it opens at 18pt for every .txt, old and new. The font is already set at 12pt but it's overriding that setting.Is there any other way that I can fix the font size in NotePad? Registry edit maybe?Denise

    :)

    The font file is TTF. Yep, exactly. Malgun is already installed but it does not appear in the list of fonts.

    I did a little more checking. Changing the font with the steps you described: Format>Font>select the font>OK - should change the font of any text already written without having to select any text. Notepad is just a plain text editor. Fint information is not embedded in the document. If you want to have control of fonts and have the information stick, use Notepad++ or Wordpad.

    You originally mentioned creating a font, however. You can't create a font with Notepad.

    Hi majoymeows

    In Notepad, when you click Format - Font, does Malgun Gothic not appear in the list of fonts?

    Do you know if the font you downloaded was a TTF or OTF type of font file?
