As far as I have understood, there is no default APA style font. In one of the web sources I found out that "main idea is to avoid fonts that are hard to read. The recommended fonts in APA style are 12-pt Times Roman and 12-pt Courier"[1]. However, Courier for me is very hard to read (despite most of the film scripts are written in it). The question is - the times new roman is the default font, or only suggested one, so I can still pick any of the list worldwide?
Thank you

I have a question about footnotes. If I have quoted someone, added a full footnote about it, then have some of my own text in between and then quote from the same source again what should I write in the footnote? 'ibid.'? Or what?
The same question goes for when I have quoted someone (person A), then quoted someone else (person B) and then quoted person A again. What should I write in the footnotes the second time I quote person A? 'Op. cit.'?

You add Ibid. If the page number(s), changes, it's Ibid, xx-x.
If it's the same author, but a different book, you do the whole footnote again, like you've never quoted the author before.
If you've quoted someone in between, and it's the same book, it's "Author," xx-x.
