    .txt files only store the asci characters...they don't store any font/size details.

    It would have to be a rich text file format or some other file format if you needed to store such information.

    but notepad sets a reminder in your registry...so it knows what font/size you where using last.

    If you open a different .txt file with notepad...it should use the last settings.
