Description foobard 2010-02-12 19:15:41 UTC 
There is currently no way to set a default font for the Insert -> Special
Character dialog box. Every time you insert a character, you have to manually
change the font.

I suggest one of two modifications:

1. In Tools -> Options -> OpenOffice Writer -> Basic Fonts (Western), a new
option should be included to select the default font for special characters;

or

2. Link the Special Character default font to the current document's default font.

It's niggles like this that make OpenOffice a pain to use. Fixing this detail
will make OOo more user-friendly and attract more end users.

thanks

Would love to see this implemented, I prefer the second option.
