rogbar 19 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 I just exported one Evernote notebook in which the font was Helvetica Neue 16. I used File/Export to a .enex file. When I imported that file into Apple Notes the font size was 8. I then imported the file into DevonThink 3 and it was also 8. So something in Evernote's export function is shrinking the font size. Is there any way to change that? I'd like the font size to remain the same when I import the .enex file into another app. Is it possible to do that? Link to comment

By default, notes have no font specification Here's the .enex export of a single note There is no font specification in the .enex file It is possible to explicitly define font/size for text within a note This will be replicated in the .enex file, for example <div><font style="font-size: 18px;">Single Note</font></div> Link to comment
rogbar 19 Posted July 23, 2020 Author Share Posted July 23, 2020 Hi - thanks for the quick response. I'm not clear as to what I can do with this information. I have thousands of notes to export. Would I have to explicitly define the font/size for each note, or just once in then .enex file? Link to comment

No, you don't have to explicitly set font/size In Evernote, set the default text size in Evernote > Preferences In Apple Notes, set the default text size in Notes > Preferences Link to comment
rogbar 19 Posted July 23, 2020 Author Share Posted July 23, 2020 That's the first thing I tried, and it doesn't do it. If I increase the Evernote font size to 16, it shows up as 10.3 in Notes, no matter how I change the Notes preferences. If I increase the Evernote size to 18, it's 12 in Notes. If I increase Evernote to 24, it's 16 in Notes. For some reason, it gets reduced by 1/3 each time. I can make it look okay on the Mac (by sliding the slider in Preferences), but in iOS, it stays small. Link to comment

rogbar 19 Posted July 23, 2020 Author Share Posted July 23, 2020 Thank you - you're so right. I just exported from EN and then re-imported into EN, and the size remained the same. Bizarre that other apps would change the size. I'm curious: you have any idea why? Link to comment
