@eric99: That is worth knowing. I did try it early on but for some reason I got the impression that it wasn't persistent. If it is, that together with @PinkElephant's suggestion of a 'master' template, invoked as a shortcut might be a solution to the problem. I'm not in a hurry to jump ship as I can revert to the legacy version in the interim. In the meantime I'll take the time to explore workrounds.

Which is what I've always done in the past: 1 notebook = 1 ENEX file. So long as that is still possible I'm OK. Like I said I'll renew in a couple of weeks but after that who knows... Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Hi Pink Elephant. Thanks for taking the time to respond. To be clear, it's not the font itself that it the problem as I'm not one of those who think a note isn't complete without at least six fonts including Comic Sans for emphasis. It's twofold: 1 Moving to V10 has meant all my existing notes have been changed with no clear path to do a batch change back. I really care that the move has messed up my existing notes, at least on the Laptop. 2. It's the SIZE of the font that is the problem. Many of us have less than perfect eyesight and in my case have found that an 18 point font manages to hit the sweet spot for legibility on a Retina MacBook without being excessively large when viewed on a desktop machine. I don't care that it's say Arial/Helvetica/Verdana whatever, I DO care that it's 16 point or take a hike. For EN to do 1 without a solution shows contempt for customers. Your solution offers a way out, but why not simply say "use this template as default for all new notes" and "apply this template to existing notes" or a selection thereof. I will give your suggestion a try, but I still see no way of applying it to my existing notes. There's a thread elsewhere on here started by @Stathis who comments, "...." performance/productivity aspects are must-haves and there is no point keeping a productivity app that kills your productivity...." That is what is starting to happen to me with V10. I'm only a plus user since I've found that fulfills my needs as a researcher, so I doubt I'll be missed if I do jump ship. However I will renew my sub whilst looking around. PS: Does V10 allow export in .enex format?

I got the idea that the standard was now 16pt, my beef is that there appears no simple way of changing it to apply to all notes. Given this has been going on for around a couple of years it doesn't seem likely they are going to change it, so I think it's time to look elsewhere. I'll go back to the legacy app as my sub is up in a couple of weeks. That should give me time to look around. Shame as I've been with EN for some years now and it was a good and useful app. What it did it did well, but like many others it's gone the way of featureitis and failed to concentrate on what made it a good app.

I have just moved to a new MacBook Air M1 and downloaded the latest version of EN - 10.29. Many - not all - of my notes now have the font changed from sans to serif and the size to 16pt rather than the 18pt which is better on a Retina Display. Preferences are reduced to the ridiculously simplistic, leaving a choice of the EN way or the highway. Looking through the forums this has been a problem since early 2020 or so and has not been fixed; the long delay and introduction of new features, suggests that EN either have no intention of fixing it or are unable to do so. Back in the days of V6-7, EN was a good usable app which was worth paying for and served me well. The changes in the home screen to only display the latest notes rather than the list style of earlier versions, the lack of any preferences to make even modest changes to the defaults are increasingly making it unusable - at least for me. Others may find the changes beneficial which is fair enough. Is there any likelihood that changes to the default font size will be made? Yes there are work rounds (templates) for new notes but the current situation means I have to go through existing notes and change them to 18 pt. Long winded and sufficiently time consuming to make me look for alternatives. In the meantime I'll go back to the legacy edition to buy some time but I doubt that option will remain for long.
