Basically I need to change the default font in Lotus Notes for our group of users.
I have tried the following suggested solution, but it didn't work. The font just did not change after we created the button. I have tried many font size as well but still didn't work.
At first I thought this may due to my signature which superseded this default font, however even after removing my signature and closed & reopened the client, it just didn't work.
FYI, my users are using Lotus Notes 6.5. Appreciate your advice to address this.
Thanks!
==========================
1. Create a mail memo (save as draft so you can access it later)
2. Write your instructions of what you want them to do.
3. In the next line in the Body field of the memo, Select File>>Create>>Hotspot>>But
4. A small button will appear in the Body of the memo, and a Button dialog box will open.
5. Add a label to your button like: Please Click Here to Change Your Font. And configure the text properties using the rest of the tabs.
6. Close or move the dialog, so you can see the formula editor pane below the mail memo. You should see the "Label" you just typed, along
with a split editor pane.
In the right side, there is "Run: Client" and "formula" and space below those two fields to enter a formula.
Paste into that space:
@Environment( "StaticFont1" ; "Arial|0|26");
@Prompt([OK];"Font Changed!";"Thank you! The next time you open Notes the default font will be changed to Arial")
7. Click the Checkmark at the top of this pane to save and check the formula.
8. Click anywhere in the BODY of the memo to return to the memo. The editor pane will close.
9. Save the memo as draft, and then make a copy of that draft (else when you send it, you will have to go searching for it in the "sent folder" if you need to send it again).
10. Send it to a test PC that has some other default font set (you may want to set a visibly different font first on this PC so you can see the difference and if the button works). Run many tests.

You used
Paste into that space:
@Environment( "StaticFont1" ; "Arial|0|26");
@Prompt([OK];"Font Changed!";"Thank you! The next time you open Notes the default font will be changed to Arial")
whereas you should have used the following LotusScript code (see some lines down in the other question):
Dim Session as New NotesSession
Call session.SetEnvironmentVar ("StaticFont1","Arial|0|26
msgbox "Thank you! The next time you open Notes, the default font will be changed to Arial",,"Font Changed"
you want to open your notes.ini
C:\Program files\Lotus\Notes\notes.in
open your .ini file in notepad or wordpad
once it is open go to the very bottom and place your curcer on the last line and enter "Display_font_adjustment=x
where the x above is you need to put a number 1-25. by doing this it will change the default font size
for your lotus notes. 1 will be the smallest choice and 25 will be your largest.
so to recap "Display_font_adjustment=1
or you can do it at the document level
To change fonts in documents (size, style, color)
1. Put the document in Edit mode.
2. To format existing text, select the text. To format new text, click where you want to enter the text.
3. Choose Text - Text Properties.
Note To format a section title or button label, select the section or button and choose Section - Section Properties or Button - Button Properties.
4. Click the Font tab.
5. Select a font, size, style, or color.
Dear All,
Thank you for your response.
I managed to changed the program fonts but what I'm actually looking for is the way to change the default font when composing new email, for mass users.
I tried to follow suggestion from sjef_bosman, however I'm not quite sure where could I select LotusScript (Please refer to attachment).
Appreciate your advice regarding this.
To create a LotusScript agent you NEED (someone with) a Domino Designer client. You can buy a licence and download the software. I don't know if the software is available as a trial version.
In other words: yes, that's right. Ask your administrator, he might be able to do this for you (assuming he has a Designer client).

You have to read beyond the accepted comment: maryling corrects her own code a little later.
