Notepad resets to Arial Font after every restart.

Try exiting notepad by FILE - EXIT, not the X in upper right.

Still a good recommendation, as it's highly customizeable . Maybe you start doing more ... .

Although i refuse to use this useless crap, i checked the default settings on mine, and found them being set to 'Consolas' (standard, size: 11) .

... and the 'IfFaceName' entry is missing in registry .

 

consolas appears in current machine reg setting but Arial shows in current user section

 

lol ... my screenpost was made off enterprise 8.1 but when looking into 8.1pro, it really does not show there except in current machine section as consolas

edit: when opening notepad in 8.1pro, default font is set to consolas and when opening enterprise arial is set to default which means that reg entry shown above supersedes entry in current machine settings

 

Whatever I set the font to be in Notepad appears in the reg key you mentioned Paul.

The Font Caper continues...

ETA - I am using 8.1 Pro x64

Current User show font I set in Notepad
Local Machine shows Consolas as default font

Makes sense to me.

 

Hmm, it lacks 'multiple undo history' function, syntax highlighting, lines counter, several other counting functions, and most important; it mostly fails when it comes to paste formatted text into it, line breaks get screwed (yeah, one liner with 10000 characters ).

Not worth bothering with at all .

 

checked into this and found same settings in both windows versions after having changed the fonts in the "Format" section to any style and they continue to these settings. Consolas is kind of default stuff shown in current machine but altered settings are displayed in current user section and are saved there. Re-opening notepad always shows newly saved font but not default one

 

Oh noes... an epidemic of Arial Notepadiosis.
