I have little to add here, but it seems there was a way to do this in Excel 2016 ( I haven't tried as I don't have that version) but any methods suggested did not work in Excel 2019.

I have changed the default font setting for Excel 2019 but that only affects the main font in the cells, it hasn't changed the comment box font.

Any help would be much appreciated.

You can teach Excel a new custom list. Type the list in cells, File, Options, Advanced, Edit Custom Lists, Import, OK
I don't have a code. I just want to change the default font in the comments box.
When I insert a comment in a cell (Review>New comment) the default font is Tahoma, size 11, bold. I want to change this default font setting.

That's exactly what's discussed on this web page!

" When you add a comment to a cell, Excel automatically uses the Tahoma style font in size 9 on a PC, and size 10 on a Mac. You can change the formatting for a comment, and in Windows you can also or change the default format for all comments. "

I can change the formatting in the comments box, I know. But I want to change the default from Tahoma-bold to something else. Otherwise I have to change the formatting each time I insert a comment.
