Thanks Allan!  I tried to move the fontName and fontSize out to the global level, but the font is not changed.  I have two different folders with two different fontName and fontSize in each folder as the followings. Both folders open up in &quot;Monaco&quot;, the default font.  Something is not working right.  I noticed a &quot;-&quot; sign icon on some files (including the .tm_properties file) and folders.  What does it mean?<div>

</div>Some of the View menu settings are only read from .tm_properties when initializing the text view, and not when switching documents, so file-type specific settings will not work (yet).<br>
