Hello Michal,
You are right about the default settings in OpenOffice (I use LibreOffice, but
it doesn't matter here).
I have managed to change the default font using a personal "ooffice.4ht" file
(I have copied the original one in my working folder) and I have added elements
like
<style:font-face style:name="Times New Roman" svg:font-family="'Times New
Roman'" style:font-adornments="Normal" style:font-family-generic="roman"
style:font-pitch="variable"/>\Hnewline
and
<style:text-properties
style:font-name="Times New Roman"
fo:font-family="'Times New Roman'"
style:font-style-name="Normal"
style:font-family-generic="roman"
style:font-pitch="variable"/>
</style:style>
at places where I wanted Times New Roman (in style:name="Text-body" and
style:name="p-bibitem" for the moment).
For titles (style:name="Heading"), I have installed Arial in the same way.
Then the document uses Times New Roman and Arial when I open it in OpenOffice.
Now that I understand the procedure, if I discover a place in the text which
uses the default font (Liberation as you suspected), I can change this
behaviour.
This solution looks like a hack: it should be useful to have a latex command
inside the document to install these fonts.
May be it already exits (the documentation I found is quite succinct: a webpage
with minimal information) or we will get one in a future version of tex4ht…
On the other hand, one needs also a documentation about the syntax of the
style.xml file used by OpenOffice to style the document!
I have made changes to the document in OpenOffice, and then I have opened this
style.xml file (transform .odt into .zip and then open the archive folder) to
learn (to guess) the syntax I needed.
Hope this "solution" will help someone else.
Best regards
Thierry
