Of course, you’re free to use whatever font you choose that’s on your system. If you have children in the family or like to experiment with various settings yourself, it’s easy to mistakenly set the font to something else entirely.
One of the problems with Notepad is it’s very easy to change certain things like the default font, and if you or someone else has changed anything about the font, there is nothing in the program that allows you to reset the setting back to the default. It’s not the most advanced text editing utility around, but the fact Notepad has remained almost unchanged for decades says it does just enough for most people.
Apart from being the default viewer and editor for text files, it’s also used by Windows to edit several other file format types such as batch files, registry files, and scripts. One of the most common utilities you will encounter in Windows is Notepad.
