Description wroot 2018-12-19 09:23:17 UTC 
Description:
If i change default fonts in Writer, they are applied if i run Writer from programs list. But if i create an odt document by right clicking in a folder and selecting OpenDocument and then open it, it will have regular Liberation font defaults. Windows 7 x64.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run Writer and change default fonts to other than Liberation.
2. Right click in a folder and select to create new OpenDocument file.
3. Open created file.

Actual Results:
Liberation is still a default font in a file created that way.

Expected Results:
Writer should always use default font set in Options no matter how file is created.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
If i try to create RTF file this way it actually works correctly and such file used my set default font instead of Liberation. For some reason doesn't work with ODT the same way.

I reproduced in Windows LO 6.1.3 and 6.3+ like this:
1. delete user profile to have clean profile
2. run Writer and change default fonts to other than Liberation in Tools-Options-Writer-Basic Fonts
3. close and reopen writer to see that default font is other and is there in Basic Fonts
4. right click in a folder and select to create new "OpenDocument Text" file
5. open created file and see it has Liberation and that Basic Fonts still show Liberation (how?)
6. close and reopen Writer via LO shortcut to see that it opens other font as default.

Note: testing with master dev version is possible is MSI is edited to set Write Registry as 1.

As I understand LO ships four empty files in share\template\shellnew, and adds shell commands in Windows registry to use them when the user creates a new file from Explorer.
