 +The value of this field can be one of “USER”, “FIXED” or “SYSTEM” (for the default user, fixed and system fonts), or a font name.  This can optionally be followed by a colon and the point size.  The default point size is 13.  The font size is scaled based on the Large Text setting, and this size is used for the //Normal// setting.

 +Microsoft applications include a PDF flavor with every copy, and starting up the PDF rendering engine is slow, making the first copy after launching a Microsoft application. ​ Keyboard Maestro (v9.0+) excludes PDF flavors from clipboards copied in Microsoft applications by default, but you can turn this off with:
 +
 +<code bash>
 +defaults write com.stairways.keyboardmaestro.engine ExcludeMicrosoftPDFFlavor -bool NO
 +</​code>​
 +
 +Microsoft applications also include flavors for every possible image format with every copy.  Keyboard Maestro (v9.0+) excludes secondary image flavors like BMP when there is a PNG or TIFF flavor available. ​ You can turn this off with:
 +
 +<code bash>
 +defaults write com.stairways.keyboardmaestro.engine ExcludeMultipleImageFlavors -bool NO
