Like me, I suppose there are may out there that mainly work on one specific project at the time. And usually that means one default font too. Though Adobe, like Microsoft, love Times New Roman. So here’s how to change the default font in InDesign:

You can make any active font the default font in the document by first making sure that’s nothing’s selected in your document (Command-Shift-A/Ctrl-Shift-A), then choosing the font you want from the Type > Font submenu or in the Character palette. All new text frames you create from then on in the document will use your new default font. If you change the default font without any documents open, that will be your new default font for all new InDesign documents you create.

This works for all other formatting defaults too!

Really interesting article I found about my favourite toy, Lego. It’s Danish though..

Found a great article in the Economist about conversation. Here are the main rules:

“The rules we learn from Cicero are these: speak clearly; speak easily but not too much, especially when others want their turn; do not interrupt; be courteous; deal seriously with serious matters and gracefully with lighter ones; never criticise people behind their backs; stick to subjects of general interest; do not talk about yourself; and, above all, never lose your temper. Probably only two cardinal rules were lacking from Cicero’s list: remember people’s names, and be a good listener.”
