File, Preferences, User Preferences (or the R5 equivalent), Default Fonts, and select your default Sans Serif font.<br />
<br />
You can also change the design of the mail database Memo form, but there is a third way: create an html signature file that uses the right font, install it, configure it and just one arrow-down key will put you in the signature area with the right font.<br />

I use Lotus notes 5.06a.<br />
<br />
When I creating a create/reply/forward a email, I found the default font size (10) is very small and the font style is not suiting my taste (Default Sans Serif). &nbsp;Are there any ways to change the default font type and font size so that I have no need to change it every time I create a new mail ?<br />

How to change the default font when creating a new email in Lotus note ?

Lotus Software produced the Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet program, and later developed Lotus Notes, a groupware and email system. Following its acquisition by IBM, the Notes and Domino client/server collaborative platform were expanded to include functions such as email, calendars, to-do lists, contacts management, teamrooms, discussion forums, file sharing, microblogging, instant messaging, blogs, and user directories. IBM also release SmartSuite, a comprehensive office suite, and followed that with Symphony, unrelated to the Lotus suite of the same name.

A font is a particular size, weight and style of a typeface. Each font is a matched set of type, one piece (called a "sort") for each glyph, and a typeface consists of a range of fonts that share an overall design. With the advent of digital typography, font is frequently synonymous with typeface, although the two terms do not necessarily mean the same thing. In particular, the use of "vector" or "outline" fonts means that different sizes of a typeface can be dynamically generated from one design. Each style may still be in a separate "font file" -- for instance, the typeface "Futura" may include the fonts "Futura roman", "Futura italic", "Futura bold" and "Futura extended" —- but the term "font" might be applied either to one of these alone or to the whole typeface.
