I have an ODT that is a mess. Originally I used Arial and Courier New as the two main fonts in it, but since I found that FreeSans and FreeMono are more suitable for me, I changed all styles that I use in the document to the new fonts. However, some sentences are a mix of the two fonts and here and there the old fonts are present. Since this is a real mess, it would take very long time to correct. I figured out how to search for a font, but not how to replace it with another one.
So what I did was to unzip the document and replace the fonts using a text editor (gedit) instead. I zipped it again and renamed it to Filename.odt. Unfortunately I can not open the document anymore. OpenOffice.org Writer says that the document is corrupt… This is only a copy of the original document, so I still have the original document, so that's not a problem. What I want to know now is if anyone have a better idea how to do this. If using a text editor, in which ones of the all xml files can I search and replace font names, and which ones should I leave as is? I did a search and replace in every xml file in which I could find the word ”Arial” and/or ”Courier New”, but that was obviously not optimal… As I said, I always do this kind of stuff on a copy of the original file, so I can be quite experimental without losing anything.
