Recently one of our forum member created an interesting thread in our forum saying it seems that the flight number from one of the planes that hit one of the two World Trade Center towers on 9/11 was Q33N. If we type the 4 characters Q33N in Notepad, increase the font size to 72 and then change the font to Windings, we will eventually get the following freaky image that shows a plan crashing two towers leading to death. I thought it was real for a second until another forum member Funkysourav said that it is a hoax as there was no plane by that name.
All is good until I open other text files that I used to note down stuff and all I see is some high tech encrypted codes which seems to require deciphering. It could be a virus that caused this, or the file simply got corrupted, or actually I changed the font and forgot to set it back. I went to the Font settings in Notepad and there is no option or a button for me to reset it back to the default font. I didn’t know what is the default font so I tried using Times New Roman but somehow I still prefer the default Notepad font.
I had to refer to my test system in order to know what is the default Font for Notepad. To set Notepad back to the default font and size in Windows 7, follow the simple instructions below.
1. Click on Format at the menubar and select Font.
2. Select Lucida Console for the font, Regular font style with a size 10 followed by clicking the OK button to save the changes.
Wordpad doesn’t seem to have this problem because whenever you open a new empty document, it will use the default font which is Calibri with font size 11.
