To change the default text styling fonts in Google Apps permanently, you can manage this from your Gmail Settings as follows:
- Make sure Default Text Styling is enabled (see below).
- Follow the Settings link in Gmail.
- Go to the General tab.
- Use the Bold, Italic, Font, Size and Text Color buttons under Default text styleto specify the desired formatting.
- Click the Remove Text Formatting to reset the font face and color to the default.
- Click Save Changes.
To enable Default Text Styling in Gmail:
- Select Settings in Gmail.
- Go to the Labs tab.
- Make sure Enable is selected for Default Text Styling.
- Click Save Changes.
Would like to see a larger range of fonts available.
