Changing the default font in Essential Graphics

This idea is one of several needed to really ramp up the EGP/mogrts operations for faster and better workflows.

Especially as "Master Styles" are limited to a particular project. Which to me is a very painful limitation right there!

This has been 'migrated' on the forum here as an Idea now, which is replacing the previous Uservoice system.

So ... it would be nice to see some up-voting on this happen!

I feel your pain.  In the world of TV promotion, we make many, many new projects every day.  I'll try a "master style" but it's a far cry from just setting my station font to default and never worrying about it again.

johanr60762108  wrote Essential Graphics opens with Minion Pro as the default font. If I want to use a different font, I have to change it everytime I create a new title. How can I set the default font to what I want ?

Most Recently Used (MRU) font choice is remembered for each new Text Layer. This is sticky for any new Layer, Graphic, Sequence or Project within that Application session. If you quit the app and restart it with the same or different project, then the next text you make will use the default font (Minion Pro Regular). But all you need to do to remember a new MRU is select a layer that uses the font you want.

If you are often making new title based on ones you've made in the past, you should consider exporting a template (MOGRT) for yourself so you can just drop that in as a starting point whenever you want new Title. You can also alt/opt + drag a Graphic in the timeline to duplicate it.

Have you tried setting any Master Styles, of the font choices you like?
