Update multiple block attributes

Hi,

 

I have multiple drawings (I have not created them) but all have blocks in, with attributes, that relate to other organizational software.

 

All have block attributes and the text comes through as standard. I want to update all the blocks at once with a different text style. 

 

In smaller drawings I manually go through each block and change the text style then do an attribute sync to update, but in some of the larger drawings, there can be plus 200 blocks, all with different attributes. 

 

I can't delete them as it would take ages to add them all in and currently don't have the plug in required (the plug in doesn't allow me to change the font). 

 

My question is, there anyway to change the font style in multiple blocks at once and then update all the block together, rather than manually change them all? 

 

Thanks in advance, this issue has been bugging me for a while now.

Is the style called Standard?

If it is I would do the following.

1. Rename the style using the RENAME command to something like Standard1

2. Add a New text style and just call it Standard.

3. Edit the text style Standard1 to your hearts content. The blocks will automatically use the font of the Standard1 text style

They are not always the 'standard' font style they sometimes come through as something different (not my models originally). But just did a quick test and that seems to have done the job, thank you!
