Changing The Font Of Text Area

Yes, using the CSS font-family property, just like any other element.

The W3C has a CSS tutorial as does Mozilla

You can just open your css file and write code as mentioned below

textarea  
{  
   font-family:"Times New Roman", Times, serif;  
   font-size: 12px;   
}

By following the above procedure, you can change the default property of any HTML tag you want.

And the shortcut lazy version (not recommended):

    <textarea rows="5" cols="50" 
     style="font-family:Times New Roman;color:#003399;white-space:pre-wrap">Put your text here</textarea>
