Because the Wizard is hardcoded to look for 'Maestro Font Default.ftm', regardless of what you set in Program Options. I'll bet Coda will say it's done this way because the Wizard allows you to choose between Maestro and Jazz (i.e., between 'Maestro Font Default.ftm' and 'Jazz Font Default.ftm') whereas Program Options only lets you specify a single default file without regard to font.

Still, it would be nice if the Wizard gave you the choice of Maestro, Jazz, or 'Use my own default file'. Or if the Wizard and Program Options were brought into sync in some other way that allows for easy operations by newbies and also gives flexibility to advanced users.

FWIW, this issue has been discussed here several times before, so Coda is not unaware of the issue.
