Thank you very much.

This examples shows how to set font of each controller individually.  
I want to change the default font so that any controller I make gets the default font. I don’t want to set the font parameter individually for all controllers, if its possible.

I think the ControlP5 default font is based on a Processing font. Look at ControlFont in the reference that @josephh gave you. Someone can correct me if I’m wrong, but if that’s true then I guess you would have to change the Processing font. Furthermore, the author states in the docs that he had a difficult time with developing the font and is not prone to change it.
