    Apparently in late December 2009 Google heard the complaints and finally created a Lab feature that allows us to set a Default Font.  Woot!
     

    Here’s some instructions:

    1. Click the green lab beaker gmail labs icon in the top right (or go here https://mail.google.com/mail/?shva=1#settings/labs)
    2. Scroll down about 2/3 until you find Default Text Styling (or CTRL-F to search for it)
      gmail labs default text styling
    3. Click Enable
    4. Scroll up to the top
    5. Click Save Changes
    6. Click the General Settings tab at the top (or go here https://mail.google.com/mail/?shva=1#settings)
    7. Set your Default text style about half-way down
    8. Click Save Changes at the bottom

    Now marvel at how with this time-saving hack Gmail became even more awesome :)
