Stickies will not allow a default font

FWIW, apparently "Stickies Menu....Window.... Use as Default" does not work. All "Use as Default" does is save the size and color of the note. What does work is, click inside a note with the format you want, select "Copy Style ⌥⌘C" from the Font menu, or use the keyboard shortcut, then create a new note, then choose Paste Style ⌥⌘V" from the Font menu, or use the keyboard shortcut.

Hello MontecitoMac,

Thanks for reaching out in Apple Support Communities! I understand you want the Stickies app to save a default format. I'm happy to assist you with this.

Check out the tip under the "Create a note" section of this article: Stickies User Guide

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities, and have a great day!

You're welcome. Yes, I agree, it would be nice. You can always send Apple feedback.

Hi Joseph_S.,

Yes, I've been using Stickies that way for the last several years and it has worked as expected (contrary to MontecitoMac's comment below). I upgraded to Catalina this morning and now a) it's forgotten my default and b) when I set the default again it doesn't take. Can you confirm this ever works on Catalina? Thanks much.
