Into a new project, I pasted quite many draft items with their specific (ugly) font.
How do I change the font & font-size for all drafts?
☐ I DO HAVE set the DEFAULT font in Preferences > Editing > Formatting , and I would like to use this setting for the new project (the pasted draft items) as well.
If I combine all drafts to one, change the font, can I then ’uncombine’ the document afterwards, so I have the individual drafts back?

A project can only have one Draft folder, which Scrivener accepts as The Draft. If all you imported is inside that Draft, use scrivenings view to show it all in the editor, Select All, and then there is a Convert to default format somewhere, possibly under the Edit menu.
Hi Omar,
As lunk says, there is only one drafts folder in a Scrivener project, so by ‘draft items’ I assume you mean documents located within/under the Drafts folder.
After you’ve set Scrivener’s default font and sizing as you like, all new docs will be created with that font and sizing. To change the font of existing documents in a project to the default, do the following:
In the Binder, Select the Draft folder
Change the view to Outliner. View > Outliner
In the Outliner view, click on any folder or document. (Don’t open it.)
Expand the Outliner view. View > Outline > Expand all
Select everything in the Outliner view. Edit > Select All (or Ctrl+A). All the folders and documents in the outliner view should be selected.
Convert all the documents to use the new default font. Documents > Convert > Formatting to Default Text Style
All documents in Draft folder of that project will be changed to the default font.
lunk’s suggestion should also work, so now you know two ways of accomplishing it. 
Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Also, in future, when you are pasting from sources from outside Scrivener and do not want to retain styling (ugly font, etc.), try using Paste & Match Style rather than Paste. This can save you a world of finnicky business.
