I don't know how to change Font type of Sticky Notes in Windows 7. Can you give me a solution?

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

It's simple:
Select the words by using Ctrl+A and then adjust it using "Shift +Ctrl+<" or "Shift+Ctrl+>".
Sure this helps...:)
Sorry, but it doesn't. I already know how to increase or decrease the font size (that is what you are describing)...I wanted to be able to use a different font (as do many others) but Microsoft doesn't allow it. Very stupid choice of font.

Thank you for this little tip, happy I found it, initially I tried using Wordpad, and was about to comment that it didn't work, I then thought of giving MS Word a try and when I pasted it from there, all was good.
NB: When you start a new note from Start/Sticky Notes/+New, you'll be right back to using the default font of (Segoe Print Size=11) aargh - that's an awfully large & obtrusive font for such a small and very helpful little utility.
Are there any thoughts on allowing a change to this, it doesn't need a full Font Control Dialog or pulldown, but a simple right-click on the properties to set the default font would be sufficient.
Thanks again, Leon
I totally agree that this is certainly not the ideal font for this utility; something like Calibri or the boring Arial would have been better. I don't understand why Microsoft would have chosen an almost scriptlike font.
