   Does anyone know if there's some hacky way to change the typeface in macOS's Notes.app? I hate that variant lower-case "a" with a PASSION

     @adamconover In 1957 designer Max Miedinger created Helvetica and as of today, rendering all other proportional fonts completely unnecessary...

     But we as humans keep trying (and failing)

     @travis Sorry, this changes just the font OF THAT SELECTED TEXT, not the default font across all new notes. Sorry, I should have been more specific.

     @adamconover Yes:

     Change text font, color, size, and more: Select the text you want to change, Control-click the selection, choose Font > Show Fonts, then use the Fonts window to make changes.

     @adamconover You seem to have a lot of passions, and I'm super down for that my guy, but typeface shouldn't be one of them.
     As sad as it is, your mind demands more of your worries than this.

     @adamconover Totally agreed. But it’s not just your preference: the “a” they use causes such legibility issues, since everywhere else has the other style. A thousand little cuts.

     @adamconover wait really? I go out of my way looking for fonts with the circular 'a'.
