Hi macropod,

by "I'm trying to modify it repeatedly with different fonts" I meant that I tried several times to modify the Normal template (in a document, but with the "add to template" option ticked) by setting it to various fonts as default.

Any new blank document indeed opens by default correctly, according to my latest setting. For instance, I modify the normal template font to Courier (with the "add to template" option ticked) and then close the current document. Then I open a new blank document and that opens set to Courier. But as soon as I hit the keyboard to write the first character, the font selector on the left changes to Times New Roman, and the "current style of selected text" field in the Toolbox changes to "Normal + Times New Roman."

The only case in which my setting actually sticks is when I set the default font to Arial.

It's a mystery. Mybe it's because my name is Roman.
