Windows Live Messenger

Change the Default Font for Instant Messages

SUMMARY: Tired of always having to change the font when writing messages in Windows Live Messenger? Change its defaults.

While you can change the font used for writing messages with Windows Live Messenger, if you always find yourself changing away from Calibri Regular 10 Black, consider changing Messenger's defaults:

1. From a Windows Live Messenger window, click the "Show Menu" button, selecting "Tools" - "Options" (see the below screenshot).

2. When the "Options" dialog box appears, click "Messages" in the left pane.

3. In the right pane, next to "Change the font of my instant messages", click the "Change Font" button.

4. A "Change Font" dialog box appears where you can change the font name, style, size, color, etc. Change the settings as desired.

5. When satisfied with your choices, click "OK" to close the dialog boxes.

Return to the Windows Live Messenger page.
