Text defaults - R Jones - 04-04-2026
I'm using 3.2.2m (but had this same issue with 2.10.38)
I have searched (here and elsewhere) but can't find a way to set the default text (e.g. font and size).
Mine is stuck on 62pt monotype. Each time I create a new text layer, it defaults back to this. Typically I want to use the same size and font in my particular projects. When I create a text layer in 24pt Arial (for example) without closing the image, if I try to create another text layer, it defaults back to 62pt Monotype again, and I have to change it each time.

On 2.10.3X it appears to default to the last used font. Maybe 3.2.X is the same?

There are a couple of icons at the bottom of the Text tool options . One is Save tool options (far left). There is also restore tool option (next to it).
This is on 3.2. Play with it and see what you can do.
Just found this too. Pops up when you click on save preset. This is where you can name it etc. After you only have to click on restore text preset and the name of the preset you want.
