[RFE] ability to change default font
http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=818
and the bug i think David was referring to
Ability to modify built-in styles
http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1483
It also greatly annoys me that when i save to HTML the font is set to
Times New Roman because of the Normal Style, even though i never once
did any font formatting when all i wanted was NORMAL.
Im going to have to get DeCSS* working (*the one for removing Cascading
Style Sheets, not the one for descrambling the DVD Content Scrambling
System).
