Hi,
How can I change the font of the additional comments text?
Currently, the font of the additional comments is Times New Roman but I would like to make it Arial. Is this possible?

"There is currently no method for changing the default font or size of the text entered into the Activity stream. " - Last updated 2020-06-15
Having said that, you can use a Business rule to add HTML for the styling.
You should try with a Before business rule:
The code:
(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {
current.comments = "[code]<p style='font-family:verdana'>"+current.comments +"</p>[/code]";
})(current, previous);
However it will show you the HTML and original text:

You can circumvent this by having a new field that replaces the "Additional comments" field. Then it works.
Found this in the old wiki:
