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:

    Interesting enough, if you use a copy of the app then you cannot change background colors... so pick what matters for you :)

    What’s really strange is if you use the standard Sticky Notes shortcut, you get this:

    Freestyle and This font sucks

    But if you use a copy of the Sticky Notes executable, you get this (Sergoe UI)

    (Note:  the above does not represent the actual fonts displayed...try them in Word to actually see what they look like)

    I could not agree with you more. However, there is a way to increase/decrease font size:

    To INCREASE text size: Ctrl+Shift+>

    To DECREASE text size: Ctrl+Shift+<

    Refer to: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Using-Sticky-Notes?SignedIn=1

    Also:

    "With some modifications with that font, you can use other fonts as to change the default font in the Sticky Note.

    1 Start

     2 Run - type regedit

     3 Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts

     4 on right pane Find "Segoe Print (TrueType)" and "Segoe Print Bold (TrueType)" - double click (don't forget to change both - one by one)

     optional - you can delete other Segoe fonts - select(one click), press Del, press Yes

     5 Change the value(double click on font) to the file name of any other font that you wish to use that is already installed - for "times new roman" it should be times.ttf .

     6 Restart the computer. "
