Q: How to change the default font (Noteworthy) in Preview > Annotation > Note ?

Welcome to Apple Communities

Select the words, right-click > Font > Show Fonts

My workaround: look for the font noteworthy in the finder and simply delete it. It takes, I think, Lucinda, doesn't look as crappy.

I thought this was just a new Mavericks issue. I can't believe this hasn't been addressed for over a year and over an OS release. Is it still a bug for all of y'all?

Still a bug here.. August 2014, latest OSX

Sorry if this doesn't apply in Mountain Lion (no way to look at ML right now), but I see this in Preview under Mavericks:

I click the annotation button (circled in red) and draw a box. I can then change the text to any active font using the drop down menu (circled in green).

Thanks Kurt. I was talking about notes specifically (Tools - Annotate - Note). I can't seem to change the font for that.

Didn't realize this was in Mountain Lion forum, oops

I'm guessing it's a new addition to Preview in Mavericks. If I choose to add a Note to a PDF file, I can still select any available font, same as shown above.
