If you want, you can also alter the point size mentioned two lines beneath
this in the
<INTEGER>
field. A replacement value of
20
will make the font
slightly larger.

You can also alter the style of the font to bold or italics, assuming the
font includes such a character set (most do). Just type either
BOLD
or
ITALIC
after the font name, separated by a dash (if the font offers choices like
Narrow or Condensed, you can specify these too in the same way). For
example, if I wanted to change the font to Bold Arial Narrow, I'd change
the line to read
<STRING>ARIALNARROW-BOLD</STRING>
.

Save the file, close TextEdit, and then drag and drop it over the Finder
window you opened earlier, showing the
EN.LPROJ
folder. You'll be asked to
authenticate, so type your password when prompted. You'll also have to
select to replace the original file when the dialog box appears offering the
option.
Start the Notes app, and the changes should take effect immediately.
Remember that you can still switch between fonts using the Format→Font→
Default Font option, although the choice of Noteworthy will now be replaced
by your personalized choice.
