Your annotations will use that font, and that setting will be preserved when you save the document. You can also use the Silk haxie from Unsanity to set a theme font for Preview. Secondly, if you change the font to something other than Lucida Grande, Preview and some other apps will still use Lucida Grande, but will use the kerning and spacing for the other fonts causing clipping in your dialog boxes and sheets. First, other apps that use the System font may also display in the smaller point size (the Finder doesn't).

As a heavy user of annotations in Preview, I have always been annoyed at the huge, impractical and unchangeable font used for annotations in that program. A few days ago, someone posted a hint on how to change the font in text annotation boxes in Adobe Acrobat.
