For months it has been acting weird on the desktop side.  Notes would not load.  New notes would not be made.  Yesterday, ran through some pretty standard tests with Mac tech support.  While waiting for my machine to restart I asked if there was a way to change the font within “Notes” since ”MarkerFelt” is a suckfest of readability and just plain goofy.

Dude says, yes, it is within preferences/fonts & colors.

So I sneak there once the machine is back up and low and behold…..  NO ENTRY in the “Note font” text box!  Also unable to select another font.  Hrmmmm, says I.

Then it hit me.  I turned that crap font off with FontExplorer.

Turned it back on and voila!  Notes in “Notes” load and new ones can be created.  Then I was able to select a new font to replace “MarkerFelt”.

As a side note, this may have also solved a performance issue with mouse/cursor lag time issues.
