Make setting the default font easier (Edited)

When a default font is set in Options, use it for new text etc in Layouts.

Setting:

New Service Layer text inserted:

EDIT:

Expand the default graphics text style to show its font and properties to make it easier to see what Pro will use by default:

Edit 2:

When a default font is set, use it globally, including in new legends, etc.
Having to go into all sorts of styles and places to do the same thing over & over is inefficient.

The Default Font applies to new data added to a map or new label classes added to a layer - their labels will use the Default Font from the Text and Graphics options.

New graphics added to a map or layout will use the Default Graphic Element Symbol.

If you click the reset button for Default Graphic Element Symbols, the default graphic Text symbol will use the font specified by the Default Font Properties.

@JesseWickizer Ok. So we need to set both a default font and create a font style to use as default for graphic elements. Sounds efficient.

Idea edited to make the process clearer.

@JesseWickizer Edited Idea to add using the default font in Legends and other Layout 'things'.

I just want to be able to pick a font once and have that used everywhere until I want to change something specific.

Set default graphics text font size

ArcGIS Pro 3.3.1

It looks like the default graphics text font size is 10 pt.

I would like the ability to set the default to 16 pt. Otherwise, whenever I create a new graphic label within the same Pro session, I need to change the font size.

The style for new layout and map graphic text can be set in the ArcGIS Pro Options dialog box in the "Text and Graphics" tab.
