Description: Even though I have set for fonts other than Liberation Serif in Preferences and also the template(s) I load (for default text, table contents etc.) when creating a new table with default styling Liberation Sans always comes up. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Create table - don't alter any pre-set style settings (=Default). Fonts will be Liberation Serif despite my own preference and Template font settings being different. 2.I can force my desired style settings by applying the styles. 3.Pressing tab into a new row forces these styles to be reverted to the ones on creation. Actual Results: My tables contents font style keeps reverting to Liberation Serif. Expected Results: My implemented styles remain in place Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: [Information automatically included from LibreOffice] Locale: en-US Module: safemode [Information guessed from browser] OS: Mac OS X (All) OS is 64bit: no See this question: https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/239801/why-are-tables-always-formatted-with-liberation-sans-font-when-created/ (Actually I'm pretty sure the OS is 64 bit as Catalina is unable to support 32 bit applications.)

At the foot of the window 'Default Style' is shown. So there seems to be a difference between the icon and menu implementations of insert table.

Hello Dieter, thanks for attending to this bug report. What method did you use to create the table? As I write at the end of my bug report, when using the toolbar icon button things happen as I would hope - my table content styles are in accordance with the template in use. The bug occurs when inserting as table using the menu option. (Perhaps I did not make this 100% clear; not least because until looking into this I always used the menu option.) Through this method one is forced to select an overall Style. Using the pre-highlighted 'Default' gives me Liberation Serif font in all rows.

Results with Table => Insert: 1. Set Paragraph Style "Table Content" to Arial 2a. Table => Insert Table => Style "None" (this is pre-highlighted) Result: Font is Arial 2b. Table => Insert Table => Style "Default Table Style" Result: Font is Liberation Serif, although the paragraph style "Table Content" still has font Arial Ian, do you get the same results?
(In reply to Dieter from comment #3) Yes, I get the same results. (For me 'Default Style' is pre-highlighted rather than 'None'; but I followed your selections of None at 2a and Default at 2b.) > Results with Table => Insert: > > 1.

What is interesting is that today I was not able to reproduce the effect at Step 3 in my original bug report when using Default Style i.e. Pressing tab into a new row forces these styles to be reverted to the ones on creation. Once I had changed the para styles these continued as I pressed tab for new rows. Strange.
(In reply to Ian from comment #4) > (In reply to Dieter from comment #3) > > Yes, I get the same results. I don't know, if this is the expected result (because it's a pre-defined style) or not. Adding Design-Team for further input and decision. Related to bug 121023 (perhaps a duplicate), but final discussion in bug 121023 is no very clear to me.
Table styles are stored in binary files (bug 49437) which made it impossible to leave properties out. That's why we had to choose a font. We have different workflows and unfortunately also different functions to insert a table (cannot find the right ticket but there is one). With the toolbar icon you get a floating wizard and the inserted table has no dedicated style. Using Table > Insert Table it will receive a style, however, and unless you pick None from the list. Besides you can create your own table style (use the sidebar Styles & Formatting, Table Styles are the right-most option at top, use the "New from selection" at the top-right "Styles Actions". Although these are rather workarounds the intended functionality is there. And many bugs have been filed around this topic. So resolving this as WFM.
