BTW, I changed the OOoComputerCode style from the Courier font to Courier New. Courier is God-awful ugly compared to Courier New.
Courier also causes problems when I upload the PDFs for the printed version to Lulu, because Courier is not on the list of fonts they take without full embedding of the font (Courier New is accepted by Lulu without fuss).
Similarly, Times is a problem font with Lulu, but Times New Roman is not. Times is OOo's default for several things including the text in callouts and figure labels produced using the drawing tools, so if proofreaders could check the fonts used in callouts, that would be good. I don't think we have a style for the text used in callouts; if not, we probably need one. I prefer Arial 10pt for callouts and labels.
Another place that Times appears is as the default font for the index. I need to change our template so that the Index1, Index2, and Index3 paragraph styles use Times New Roman, not Times. The spacing for index paragraphs needs to be changed too; the default is to add some space after, but that should be removed. Since we have not previously had an index (other than in the printed copies of some of the books), this has not been an issue before. It's just one more thing (of many) that I have not got around to doing.
