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.

Hi Johnny,
You can do that with Altsearch extension :
http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/AltSearch
Have tried it now. Installed it, found it at Tools → Add-Ons, klicked
it and… Well, still waiting for anything to happen.
OpenOffice.org 3.1.1, vanilla version, on Ubuntu 8.10.

If you want replace Arial font by DejaVu Serif font, set the following
fields:
Find field : [:::CharFontName=Arial::]
Replace field : \A{CharFontName=DejaVu Serif}
check "Regular expressions"
On the other hand, if you do not have to preserve some different font
definition, you can select the whole text, then right click and choose
default formatting.
