As a workaround I changed the entire document to DejaVu. It took an hour because you can't change a font globally. And I have a couple of tables of five columns and 15 rows. You can't even change a font for an entire table - you have to select the text in each cell individually and apply the new font.

Er, where do you get those ideas?

1. To change the font in a table, select the entire table and make your change.

2.  To change a font globally:
o  Go to Edit | Find & Replace (or Ctrl+F).
o  Click More Options.
o  Put the cursor into the "Search for" box.
o  Click Format... .
o  Select the font attributes of the text you need to alter.
o  Click OK.
o  Put the cursor into the "Replace with" box.
o  Click Format... .
o  Select the new font attributes required.
o  Click OK.
o  Click Replace All.

3. Instead of applying font attributes locally to text, use styles - a character style or a paragraph style. When you wish to change a font, you need make only a single change to the appropriate style.

I trust this helps.
