Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 94164
custom default font settings ignored when creating new document from Windows desktop
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 UTC
If a writer-file is created in windows explorer (file -> new -> writer document), after opening the document, the default font is always times new roman, no matter what was stored in settings (extras - options - oo writer - basic fonts)
Created attachment 56712 [details] file created in explorer (times new roman)
Created attachment 56713 [details] file created with starting writer (setting based font)
MRU->OS: as described, the default font settings are ignored when creating a new document via Windows desktop. This maybe also related to issue 29485.
Same for: Windows XP Pro - OOo 2.4.1 Windows XP Pro - Ooo 3.0 RC2 Vista Home Premium - OOo 3.0 RC2
Isn't this one a duplicate of Issue 40233 (already 5 votes)?
(@hagar_de_lest: You are right - thank you. Its a duplicate of Issue 40233 ) A last note from me in this Issue: I am unhappy that Issue 40233 seems to be ignored since 4 years, and that it gets suggestions like 'change documentation to change bug to a wanted feature'. For me, this defect makes OO-writer unhandy. It is important for me to create documents into its different final storage places in folder trees, drives and over the network. I do not have the time to search the path for each document in "save as" dialog. (Try it for more than 10 documents and you get nerved).
