I had an issue where my editor font type and size was being changed to Arial 10 pt font every time I closed and reopened Qlikview. Hitting the default button--under settings->user preferences--would change the font type and size while I had that instance of Qlikview open; however, when I would reopen, it would go back to Arial 10 pt font.
I resolved this by manually changing the "Normal Text" type to Courier New 9 pt.
Solution: Hitting the default button--under settings->user preferences (it displayed "Normal Text" type to Courier New 9 pt). Change the font size to 11 pt or 12 pt (Condition: font size > 9 pt).
I think all you need to do is manually change something in the preferences text type/size (under normal text) in order for this to "stick." The default button alone does not work.
This drove me crazy having to change this every time I opened a new instance of Qlikview.
