Is there anyway to set the default font for a text layer?
If you have a show with a lot of text layers, it's time-consuming to have to select the font each time you create a new text layer.
Being able to set the default font, and the default fontsize, would save a lot of time.
Ive searched through the gallery looking for some info that would help me findhow to do this, but I haven't discovered anything.
Try selecting "All Layers" before setting your font and every text layer will change to that font.

After re-reading my reply, I realized I didn't covey the complete thought. What I should have said is, if there's not a better solution you can do the show in the default font then change all the layers after it's finished. Trick to this if the fonts are not all sized the same is to make the initial adjustment on each layer using "Text Size" then apply "Font Size" to with "All Layers" selected to uniform all the layers.

Thanks for pointing out that option. I wasn't aware of of it.
But as you say, the fonts aren't uniform, so once you use that to change the fonts, there is going to be adjustment required.
I looked in the BT show source code, and it seems that the default is always Arial Black 19.
Instead of using Arial Black 19, I might wish to use Lucida Handwriting 14 as the default font and size.

And when creating a new text layer, the same font as the previous text layer is used.

I can't believe that I didn't see that when I was looking around yesterday ... Sorry for wasting your time.
But ... it would also be nice to have a default font size in a future version.
