How to change default font in custom form?

[Piotr Karocki]

I created custom form (based on standard Post).
But, every time when I try to create a post using this form, default font
in Message field is System, Bold, 10.
I tried to change that, but for this control I cannot set font properties
(font related options on property pages are dimmed).

Is any way to change default form, e.g. in Item_Open?

Two methods:

1) Change the default font used by all items in TOols | Options.

2) Use a Word template to set the font, attaching the template on the (Properties) page of the form. Note that the default message font needs to be RTF before you can do this, although you can change it back when you have completed the form.

Can I do it programmatically (in form script Item_Open)?

2) Use a Word template to set the font, attaching the template on
the (Properties) page of the form. Note that the default message
font needs to be RTF before you can do this, although you can
change it back when you have completed the form.

I dont want to use Word as editor.
