How to set the default font in LibreOffice Calc?

Question

How do you set the default font used in new documents of LibreOffice Calc? I am using LibreOffice 3.3.2.

Answer 1

If you want to use the customized document as standard template (so it's used if you select menu File -> New -> Spreadsheet), the following steps are required (assuming you've created a fresh spreadsheet document and changed the default font as Kirk has described):

• Select menu File -> Templates -> Save...;
• In the Template dialogue, enter a name for your template; make sure that "My Templates" is selected in the "Categories" list, then click OK.
• Select menu File -> Templates -> Organize...;
• In the template management dialogue, double-click on the "My Templates" entry in the list on the left; below "My Templates", a list of your templates should appear, among them the template you saved in step 2;
• right-click on our template defined in step 2, select "Set as default template", close the template management dialogue.

That's it - now, if you create a new spreadsheet document, it should be based on your custom template.

Answer 2

Format menu -> Styles and formatting. You should get a dialog that looks similar to this:

Right click on Default, and choose modify. In the fonts tab you should be able to choose the new default font.
