Change the Default Font in PowerPoint
Monday June 22, 2009
The default font in any new PowerPoint 2007 presentation is Calibri, 18 pt, black, for text boxes other than the ones that are part of the default design theme such as the Title text box and Bulleted list text boxes.
If you are making a new PowerPoint presentation and do not want to have to change the font each time you add a new text box, the solution is simple. You can change the default font to any font you like, and also make multiple changes at once, such as the font style, color and size.

I asked “how to change the default font in PowerPoint 2007″ How does this answer that question???
In PowerPoint 2007, I have not been able to find a spot to change the default font permanently. One option is to change the fonts in the slide masters for each presentation.
You could also create a new default template with the fonts you want. This would be the new template that opens each time you start PowerPoint 2007
