Default Font choices

There is nowhere to set a default font for the project. It always defaults back to arial. If you use something else you have to change it individually everywhere in the map document. Text, leggend,labels, title...
Would be nice to change it one time, in one place, for the whole map document.

I agree. Would like to set the default font. But my projects default to Tahoma, 12 pt. not Arial.

This was added in ArcGIS Pro 2.6.

The new Text and Graphics tab on the Options dialog box allows you to set a default font name and style.

It would be great if the default font actually worked. I have mine set to Arial and every new layout element I add defaults to Tahoma. It has always been this way. I have had a default font set since that option was rolled out and it has never worked. It is this way in every single one of my projects.
