The text in the right-hand KJots panel is displayed at 9pt, too small for my screen resolution.

I would like it to appear at 12pt size. I am able to select it, and then increase the size, but I'd like new pages to open that way with a larger font size, from the start.

How may this default be changed? For future reference on any similar questions, a link to the relevant documentation would be most appreciated!

There must be something wrong with the way I asked this question. Sorry!
Since I'd still like a reply -- I'll close this thread, and try again with a new post, reworded for clarity.

KJots seems to use KDE's "General" font by default. You can configure that in Systemsettings->Application Appearance->Fonts.
But this affects all applications, not just KJots. I don't see a specific setting for KJots.

You're correct ... but it would be nice to have a separate setting from the KDE developers!

I moved the size from 9 to 11, even though I really wanted 12.

You could file a wishlist item at http://bugs.kde.org/.

But as understand it, KJots is basically unmaintained and might even get dropped in the KF5 release of KDEPIM.
