That title is a little misleading because you can't actually change the default font in Apple's Pages. I find that very frustrating because I find Gill Sans to be much more pleasing to the eye than Helvetica. Although you can't change the default font you can implement a simple work around that achieves the same effect as say setting a new default font in Microsoft Word would.
1. Open a blank document in Pages
2. Set your font settings to whatever you want the new default to be
3. Save this document as a template
4. Go into Preferences (General Preferences specifically)
5. In the "For New Documents" section click the button for "Use template:"
6. Click the choose button and select the template you saved a few steps ago
For the longest time I had a significant brain block that prevented me from figuring out a keyboard shortcut for searching within iTunes. Today that block finally subsided. When iTunes is the active window Command-Option-F (also known as Apple Key-Option-F for new to Macs people) will allow you to instantly type your search info. Huzzah.
