            Bug ID: 152550
           Summary: Drop the "Basic Fonts" option dialogs
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.5.0.0 beta1+
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

I don't see a justification for the existence of the "Basic Fonts" dialogs (for
Western, RTL/CTL, CJK) in LO Options.

In LO, we use styles. We have the Default PS, we have Header, we have Body
Text, Caption etc. The font settings in those styles seem to be what's mirrored
by this dialog. They make sense; this dialog doesn't.

Now, sure, I would definitely like it if editing the default document template
was something more accessible than it is now (how do I even do it anyway?); and
perhaps there could be a "font choice wizard" or "document styling wizard" for
newbie users, which among other things would present these font choices to
users, in some way. But - that doesn't justify taking a few of the aspects of
the document template and mirroring them in an Options dialog (both as things
stand now, and after fixing bug 144814).

See also bug 33743; other modules don't even have this.
