Changing font does not work

[markallen]

When I change the Default Font in the Editor tab of the Preferences window, it has no effect. It saves what I selected but does not use that value.

This is on the "to do" list - generally, most of the preferences aren't functional at the moment. One of the beta-annoyances, I'm afraid.

Actually, come to think of it, default editor font *should* work. It will only work on new documents, though. If you want to change the font of a current document, either do so through the fonts panel, or select "Convert draft font to default style" from the "Format" menu (though at the moment, this will strip other formatting such as bold and italics - I've just fixed that behaviour, but it won't take effect for you until the next beta, obviously).

Hope that helps.
