Font in Drawing Preferences not following through to actual drawing sheet

Hi:
I've set my desired font in "Drawing Preferences" and have found it's not following through to actual drawing sheet, what have I done wrong?

thank you:

Seems to be working OK for me. You did restart Fusion 360 between any font change? If you did not, that is your issue.

By the way, use the Insert Photos icon located on the posting dialog to add pictures, do not use Word! You have a screen capture application on your system no matter if you are using Windows or MAC to capture graphic images.

Mr. Hackney:

1. I restarted everything, my preferences still shows Tahoma as my desired font in drawing mode. When I go back to the drawing to place text, or text with a leader I get Arial, then I have to type in a "T" to get to Tahoma every time. So the default I've set in my preferences isn't having the desired effect.

2. As far as using "Word" it seemed to work, but you missed a teaching moment. So there is a "post photo" some where on the original posting page? I didn't see it, but that is the usual issue for me, those who know...know.

3. By "screen capture" you mean "ctrl, print screen" or is there another icon/button in Fusion I've yet to find.

4. Screen cast? How do I launch that?

So...help Obi-wan...

Better : google "screenshot" "snipping" (Snagit, ....)

Hi Guenther, thank you for sending me to screen cast...had no idea...so please look at my little video and see what you think. Also I have restarted the computer and Fusion, there seems to be no "update" due at this moment.

thank you:
Rick

Your video did not attach to your message. I did another Screencast to make sure you knew all the setting places both in the Preferences and the drawing itself.

Hi,

1. changing the font setting in the preferences does not affect the font settings in existing drawings

2. in existing drawings, you can change the font in the document settings
