Subject: Re: [discuss] Better defaults when choosing fonts in oowriter

The dropdown menu for choosing "font name" in oowriter contain a lot

entries. Therefore it takes a lot of time to find the correct font.
But most of the time, I am looking for a font that I am already being
used in the document, so perhaps it would help to place fonts that
are
already being used in the present document at the top of the "font
name"
dropdown menu. That would make it easier for me to choose font.
I get this problem whenever I copy text from a text document or from
a
web page into an odf document. I almost always want the copied text
to
have the same font as the rest of the document, but I end up having
to
search around in the "font name" dropdown menu to get things right.
This
is extra work, and I would like to be able to avoid it.
Is there a smarter way to do this, or should I file a feature
request?
Merry Christmas

Whenever I do that, I highlight the text and put it into the format
(style) that I want - and that includes the font as well. (Sometimes I
have to click on 'Default Formatting' or hit a Ctrl-M to get it to go
into the right font, but it is simpler than hunting for a font
sometimes. HOWEVER, if you want to preserve the formatting, then you
drop down the stylist, go to character formats and pick the one you
need. (This presumes that you've used the font you want in your doc
already...)
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
