Actually, there's a very easy way to do this. Search through the public
domain/shareware arena for an INIT called ApFont. Once installed, this will
change the default font throughout your system. MacWrite will be affected
by it. I have it set to Times Roman 12, since that is the font I use
most. It's drawback is that it sets everything to the same font and that
some applications, such as FullWrite, aren't touched by it. However,
it MacWrite is your main word processor, and you've a single favorite
font and size, ApFont is just the ticket.
