Premiere constantly reverts to Myriad Pro font.

[Paul M Davidson]

It's annoying that every time I create a new text box in Premiere Pro, it reverts to the font Myriad Pro with a font size of 100. I never use Myriad Pro or a font size of 100. Why can't it default to the last font I was using?

Might want to make some text styles or mogrt to easily change the font of your graphic

PR 25.4.0 introduced a new default subtitle and font preference: Edit -> Preferences -> Graphics -> Default Subtitle and Text Font. But that is all it says in helpx:

"Set your preferred default fonts for text and subtitles."

I just tested in 25.4.1 on Win 11. I left the preference default of Lucida Console. I get that font if I create a caption track with no style included. And if I use the text tool, it appears "Sticky," type one text entry and set a font, that is the font that comes up the next time. That continues as long as PR is open even if I change projects. But if I close PR and reopen, a new text instance has a font of Minion Pro, not Lucida  Console.

I also tested in Beta 25.6.0.39. There it behaves correctly. If I have not changed the font during a PR session, the text tool creates text in Lucide Console. If I change the font, it stays changed until I change it again or PR is restarted.

@Stan Jones Ah thought it was still in beta.

@Stan Jones for subtitles and captions this sets the font for the track. So if you change your default and add a caption segment to an existing track, it should use that tracks font. If you create a new track and create a caption it should use the currently defined default font. Is it possible you created a caption on a previously created caption track?

[Stan Jones]

@Ron Rigler,

Sorry; I think I was confusing regarding when I was talking about creating a caption track and when I was creating Text tool graphics text. Your point about creating a new caption in an existing track is useful, and something I did not test.

It is the Text tool that, in 25.4.1, is reverting to the old Minion Pro, and in Beta 25.6.0.39, correctly uses my default Lucida console.
