However, I can set a Master Text style with the font that I wan't and it works when I create new titles in that specific project. But when I exit PP and open a different project, the Master Text Styles that I saved before are not shown in the other project - only in the one where I created it.
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.
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.
Master Style is not the same as changing a preference as many have pointed out. You can change Default Substitue Font in prefs, so changing the default font in prefs cannot be that difficult to add. Can you point to a feature request that I can vote for on this topic. For those of us with graphic standards, creating a new Master Style for every project is super annoying. How about a Master Master File built in, like a preset? 🙂
