i set the defaults for both font and language, but they rapidly return to
their irginal setting. Why?

Have you also tried clicking on where it says the language in the status bar
at the bottom of the screen? If you highlight the correct language here and
select default it should change all new documents...don't think it work's for
ones already set up though... does that help? I'm guessing you've already
changed in Regional settings in control panel?
