--- Comment #18 from Mike Kaganski <[email protected]> --- 1. Since this is a really highly wanted feature (setting default fonts), you need to consider the workflow setting new fonts (using templates) from a basic user PoV. Currently they go to settings and define fonts; these fonts are assigned correctly through style system, even when the user has no idea what styles are. Is there a *simple* method to obtain the wanted result, without making 100% direct formatting in all new documents? I mean, users in vast majority will simply set the wanted font using the toolbar, and save it as template - and so, every new document will get the direct formatting. And then, suddenly, they will get strange results when they make some paragraph a heading (because they didn't change styles); or when they create a table and then type after it after pressing Alt+Enter in the last cell... 2. Is current way (File->Templates->Save As Template) discoverable enough for basic users? 3. You need to consider other side effects. E.g., new documents will have fixed language, page format, as defined in the template, not set dynamically based on current user settings. Templates are for people who really need highly customized defaults. For most, trying to enforce dealing with templates and styles would be really unneeded and excessive complexity. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
