How to set a default font for Gmail?
Every time I write an email from my Gmail account, I prefer the Comic Sans font for my message instead of the default one which is Sans Serif. This means every time I start composing an email I have to change the default font.
I came across on the internet, a neat feature which allowed me to change the default font I had with Gmail.
Change default font in Gmail
- The new feature has to be enabled under the Labs section within settings for Gmail. In the Labs section you need to look up Default Text Styling and select Enable along with saving the changes (see image below).
- Now after you have saved the changes, Gmail goes back to your Inbox. Again click on Settings and under the General tab you can see a new option enabled for changing the default font within Gmail (see image below).
- Select the font from the drop down menu and again save changes. This way you can change the default font you have on Gmail.
Hope you liked this and let me know your thoughts on default fonts with Gmail through your comments.

Hey thnx for this update…it becomes pretty boring to change the font each time when you write a mail…
Thanks for the tip
I know the default font is far too professional and I prefer to have something different. Glad you guys liked the update.
Hi Aditya, I can’t seem to get it to work for me (?) Might it have something to do with the “Remove Formatting”? I’m unclear about that part. Is that done in the settings? Thanks.
@Dee
hope it works for you and let me know.
Just enable the feature in the labs sections and save settings.
Then go back to your inbox. After that back to settings and general. Change the font and save settings.
Then go ahead and compose your email in the new font which is default.
Now if I could only get my signature in my favorite typeface as well …
Thanks for the tip. Is there a way to make the email signature the same font as the one I changed to?
Example: my preferred font is verdana but the email signature remains sans serif.
Thanks!
Hi.
Every thing is okay , however in this case you will not get full range of font style. You will get some limited No. styles which you may not like. Is there any way to use full range of font style.
