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.

Answer 3

If you have with other languages (Complex Text Layout (CLT) languages like Persian languages) just do this first:

1. Click on English/any default language on status bar and then select More.

2. Select your western and CTL font and default language you want.

3. For setting these configurations, just do same as Kirk said above to set this template as.
