iOS 4.2: Changing Fonts in Notes

Notes finally includes fonts other than Marker Felt

To change the font used in your Notes documents on your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch, do this:

• Tap Settings.
• Tap Notes.
• Select the font you want to use for viewing and editing notes.
• If you are using an newer iOS device, you can also choose which email account to use when syncing notes.

Chalkboard is easier to read…

The default Notes font is Chalkboard in iOS 4.2, which is a big step up from Marker Felt — the original Notes font, and still available as an option. You can also choose Helvetica as an easier to read option.

…but Helvetica is even easier.

The Notes font setting is a per-device option, so if you create notes on your iPad and iPhone, you’ll need to set your preference on both.
