Question

Is it possible to change the OUTPUT font type instead of the default one? How?

This is my default stylesheet: http://filefactory.com/file/cfc2cb0/n/blueOutput.nb

Thanks!

The problem lies in StandardForm not respecting the FontFamily option, although it does seem to respect most other font options. Sjoerd’s answer used TraditionalForm output and thus worked. You can see this problem if you run

SetOptions[EvaluationNotebook[], StyleDefinitions -> Notebook[{
    Cell[StyleData[StyleDefinitions -> "Default.nb"]],
    Cell[StyleData["Output"],
     FontColor -> RGBColor[0, 0, .5], FontSize -> 14, 
     FontFamily -> "Symbol", FontWeight -> "Bold"]}]]

Then compare

{1 + 1, "abc", Sin[x]} (* This is by default in StandardForm *)
{1 + 1, "abc", Sin[x]} // StandardForm
{1 + 1, "abc", Sin[x]} // OutputForm
{1 + 1, "abc", Sin[x]} // TraditionalForm

You can also look at

Dynamic[CurrentValue/@{FontFamily, FontWeight, FontSize}]
Dynamic[CurrentValue/@{FontFamily, FontWeight, FontSize}] // TraditionalForm

which shows that the CurrentValue of FontFamily “seen” in the output depends on the output format.

Unfortunately, I don’t see how to get around this issue…
