It appears that the default font choice is retained on a PER-DOCUMENT level, while the "Appearance" settings are maintained on a PER-MACHINE level. I think this disparity is potentially quite confusing. IMHO there should be a set of defaults (font face, color, etc...; background color, etc..) that will be used for all new documents, and will stay embedded in the document. There could be a separate set of defaults that one may configure on a PER-MACHINE basis that govern the way markup is presented in LibreOffice, but do not affect how it is viewed on other machines. I personally think that the latter config options would be confusing in most situations, but it's something that may have its uses.
