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:

    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

    If your mouse has a 'wheel', you can hold down Ctrl and roll 'Up' to increase the font or 'Down' to decrease the font.  Works in IE and misc browsers also.

    Now there's no need to

    Delete any default font of Windows OS.

    OR

    Make any Registry Changes,

    (which may affect the Windows working environment)

    Follow these simply difficult steps and you can do magic ;-)

    You can also download a .MUI editor (even notepad works, I did Notepad++) and modify the sticky notes .mui file and change the font to whatever you want.

    1. Open this location *"*C:\Windows\System32\en-US"
    2. Find: "StikyNot.exe.mui"
    3. Take backup of this file (copy and paste it in this folder itself to be on safer side)

    With it, I could successfully change the default font the sticky notes are using. Use Notepad to edit the .mui file and make changes.

    Solve the Access Denied problem

    You have to have administrative permissions on the .mui file, and take control of the file first and then add full access permissions for your user name.

    Step by step:

    • Right click the file -> properties
    • Security tab -> Advanced
    • Owner tab -> Edit
    • Click your user name -> OK
    • Permissions tab -> Change permissions
    • Add...
    • Enter your user name (OR click advanced to search for it OR select Users) -> OK
    • Click the Top left check box (Allow > Full access) -> OK
    • OK -> OK -> OK that's it, now you can access the file.

    Then you can remove the write protection but you still can't overwrite the file because notepad doesn't let you save in that folder.

    So save the edited MUI file elsewhere and copy it into the "..\en-us" folder.

    Also note that the "..\en-us" folder depends on your system language (e.g. "..\de-de" for german etc), but the filename itself always stays StikyNot.exe.mui.

    Thanks
