Nguyen Hoang Son,
Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers Community.
Although DeadManWalking86 it technically right that you can not change fonts, you could go into another application, type a letter, change the font, then copy/paste into your stickynote.
Now it will be using the new font that you selected.
Hope this helps

Changing font format is not supported!
Refer the link below for details on the changes you can customize with Sticky notes:

Cheers!
In a world without walls and fences, who needs Windows and Gates?!
Life sucks! Get used to it!
The default font for notes is Segoe Print and if you don't use this font for anything else (it looks horrible, anyhoo) you can delete it from your system, after which sticky notes will use MS Sans Serif as the default font.
where it(sticky notes) stores it's configuration setting ?
i mean is it in registry ??

If you cut-and-paste text from another program, let's say Word, to a Sticky Note, that note will take on the original fonts the text was in.
To change size, luckily there are keyboard shortcuts...
CTRL+SHIFT+> makes the font bigger
CTRL+SHIFT+< makes the font smaller
There is a complete list of keyboard shortcuts available here.
Thanks to deadmanwalking86 for posting the link to the available commands.
This begs the question, though -- why doesn't Microsoft add a simple menu to this app -- one that contains the commands shown in the link? This application is nice and simple (and useful), yet MS needlessly complicates it by not having a simple menu for the available commands. Why?
