Default font for Calc
The default font for Calc is the horrible Arial. Somehow, I'm sure this
can be changed, but I have yet to find out just how. I do know how to
set up a template using a different font, but what I would prefer to do
is simply change the default font permanently. Can someone explain just
how to do this?
Thanks,
A. Cogbill

I think I have found how to get a font used other than Arial. Using
Tools-->Options, then selecting Fonts under OpenOffice.org, I check the
"Apply Replacement Table", then specify the replacement font to be used.
Thanks,

Do not "open" the csv-file. But start with an empty file from your
personal default template and then use Insert -> Sheet from file... to
get your csv data into the spreadsheet. You will get the same import
dialog as with "open", but the font is that from your default template.
Kind regards
Regina

Thanks for the suggestion; this works if I am starting a new, blank
spreadsheet. However, if I am sent a .csv file and open it with Calc,
the result always uses Arial as the default font, even though my default
template uses a different font. I open .csv files almost constantly, and
I tire of always having to change the font immediately.

If you create the template with the font of your choice, you can
also select it as the default template. Then you will always see the
font you want when you open Calc.
Create the template. Then File -> Templates -> Organize. Double
click the My Templates folder in the left list. Click the My Templates
folder to highlight it. Click the Command button and then click Import
Template. Browse to your Calc template. Click Open. Your template will
appear below the open My Template folder. Right click the template.
Select as default template. Click Close.
