Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 88315
problem with changing default fonts
Last modified: 2008-04-16 08:12:26 UTC
There appears to be a way to change the default fonts and size of fonts for new documents under Tools | Options | OpenOffice.org Writer | Basic Fonts (Western) However anything set here appears to be largely ignored even if "Current document only" is not ticked. Another way that is somewhat more successful is to create a default document and then save it as a template File | Templates | Save | My Templates and give the new template a name and click OK. Then make that template the default template File | Templates | Organise | select the template under My Templates | Commands | Set as default template However that only works when you create a new file under File | New | Text Document If you go to Windows Explorer (obviously only under Windows - I have no idea what the equivalent of this is on Linux or Mac) and go to File | New | OpenDocument Text to create a new document it will not only ignore any settings under Tools | Options | etc but will also ignore any default templates.
Has the same root cause as issue 29485. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 29485 ***
