Hello, In the Find and Replace dialog, you can replace fonts and other formating. Call for the panel (Edit > Find & Replace, or CTRL-H), and click in the "Find" text area with no text, and then select Format... . From there, select the font you want to replace from the Font tab; hit OK. Then click in the replace text area, and do the same for the substitute font. Once you have done that, select "Replace All".
I hope this helps. Rgds, Rémy.
