Oct 3, 2015 11:32 AM in response to dominic23by ja.support,★HelpfulYes, but that's only a change for that specific note or text. The author is looking for a change to the default... if not, you'll have to do this for every note, whether started in El Capitan or iOS9 (and later appearing in El Capitan).
I've got the same question but unfortunately no solution.

Oct 4, 2015 10:54 AM in response to Boldman17by mmedric,I am looking for the same. Unfortunately, this is a deal breaker for me. I've been an avid user of Notes for years but it's barely usable with that tiny font style. I'm not sure what Apple was thinking there.
I will post back if I figure out a way to deal with this.

Oct 4, 2015 3:12 PM in response to Boldman17by Tom Strand,This is a huge pain.
I want all of my notes to be 16 points (I bought the 6 Plus because of the larger screen real estate for my aging eyes).
It's not possible to modify the .plist even if logged in as root.
Sigh.

Oct 5, 2015 6:14 AM in response to Old Toadby Boldman17,If you do this, then surprisingly the fonts get smaller when the note synchronizes with the iPhone.
What I want to be able to do, is set the default font size, like one can do in Mail, Textedit, and almost any writing app. Even Simplenote lets you set the default font size for all notes.

Oct 8, 2015 11:32 AM in response to Boldman17by miabean,I'm in the same boat. I use notes extensivly on many different projects. Was looking forward to finally haveing some control over it (check lists, adding bullets in iphone) instead it's become a daily irritation. Needs to be fixed in an update ASAP.

Oct 19, 2015 1:26 AM in response to dawmanggby rossroad1956,Exactly the same predicament here. Instead of improving a longstanding
constraint they've made it impossible to currently override the default font
size. Deal breaker for me.

Oct 29, 2015 1:20 PM in response to Boldman17by mmcevoy,OMG this is incredibly frustrating, I have just updated to El Captain and first app I opened was Notes as I use it so much. Couldn't read it so like all I go to DefaultFonts to find I can't edit the **** thing. **** you Apple.

Nov 7, 2015 1:54 AM in response to Boldman17by Boldman17,★HelpfulAfter searching online for more than a month and seeing no user come up with a solution and after downloading new beta versions of El Capitan and seeing that Apple just doesn't care about something so fundamental as the readability of the app that was probably the most important update of El Capitan, I've come up with the only solution...
I've moved my notes to Simplenote! Simple as that. I can change the default size of all notes and have them be equally readable on OS X, iOS devices, browsers, even publish them on the web and see detailed version history. Sure, I miss making a word bold and including an image would some times be useful, but I used Notes basically to take notes and El Capitan just made it impossible for me to use any more.
How about that Apple?

Nov 7, 2015 3:52 AM in response to Boldman17by mmcevoy,Boldman17, I am tempted to do that myself, I am SO disgusted at Apple for such an oversight. I'm hoping for a patch soon! I used use Evernote prior to Notes and I remember there was limitation with the free version, can't rightly remember, I believe it may have been searching, on the free version I don't believe you could search, which would be a show stopper for me.
