So I’ve been compiling a bunch of reused and useful command line snippets into my Personal Brain software. They then become searchable and easy to refer to when I need them the most.
But I don’t want to have to keep changing the font of the notes every time I write a new one. There is no way in the UI to set the default font so you have to hack it.
Open your Terminal and type:
mate /Applications/PersonalBrain.app/Contents/Resources/app/res/notes.css
I assume TextMate installed with the Terminal hook. But whatever editor you have will work, just use the path above.
NOTE: This is a global setting for all notes.
This is a definite weakness of the software. If you change the font of a note and come back to add to it, it won’t use the new font, it will use the global default.
I chose Monaco because it’s fixed width and I like it. Problem solved for me. Hope it helps for you.
