iPhone: changing the Notes font ()

by fluffy at 1:29 PM
I randomly came across this about a year ago but I don't think I ever mentioned it, but I know a lot of people would want to know it so here goes:

The default font in the iPhone "Notes" app is some painfully-ugly handwriting font (I think it's Marker Felt). However, that font is incompatible with certain languages (definitely Japanese, and probably others), so if you enable one of those languages in your "keyboards" preference, you can simply switch your keyboard and type a single character in that language, and the note will permanently and irrevocably be changed to use a font that isn't godawful.

See the process after the cut!

This hack still works in iPhone OS 3.0, thankfully.
