how to change "sf ns text" to another font in TextEdit?

Good advice so far, but instead of Paste, use Paste & Match Style...

⇧⌥⌘ +V

Sometimes When pasting text from a webpage into TextEdit, the font is automatically changed to "sf ns text," which resists being re-set as a different font. (If I convert it to text then back to RTF then I can set it in any font, but then any hyperlinks are wiped out.

Is there a less-destructive way to change to another font?

? If in doubt use the TextEdit>Help menu
