Hello, 

I use the font type “Default Sans Serif” for my library. I want to use the same font for my notes, but I don’t see it. Does someone know if “Default Sans Serif” has another name?

    I think the Logos Default Font is named Skolar (as per Eli Evans in 2014)

    EDIT: ... which makes the Default Sans Serif font (which I use, too) to be Skolar Sans. Those are both commercial font families - they come bundled in Logos, but to install them on your system you'd need to buy a licence. However, it seems there is a free alternative called SkolaSans which looks very similar.

    That said, I think it's a bug / oversight / questionable design decision that Notes won't offer the Logos Default Sans, but every other available font.  

    Have joy in the Lord! Smile

    The "Default Sans Serif" font is our UI font, which (as Eli notes in the post you linked) is Source Sans Pro. You can download this font (completely free and legally) from Adobe here: https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-sans-pro#download-the-fonts-otf-ttf-woff-woff2-eot 

    Once it's installed on your system, you can use Source Sans Pro as your Default Notes font.

    (I would still recommend using "Default Sans Serif" for resources if you prefer that, because it has some additional font support for scripts that aren't supported by Source Sans Pro but are used in our resources.)
