Pardon me for butting in, but a few posts ago I addressed the same
problem (though not on the Mac version).
If you, David, have changed default settings as Ryan advises (by using
the drop-down menu to change the "normal" default font settings), what
happens when you immediately re-open that file? Have your new settings
stuck? or are you back to original default settings? If you're back to
original defaults, you must not be using the drop-down "Create and
Modify Styles" menu properly. If the new modified settings are there,
then something else is going wrong when you try to open a new document.
I'm asking because it took me a while to get the knack of modifying the
normal.awt file. But now I get it and it works fine. Apologies if this
has nothing to do with how the Mac version works.
