--- Comment #18 from Regina Henschel <rb.henschel at t-online.de> ---
The numbers used in "Line Numbering" are styled by the character style "Line
Numbering". To change the font alter that style or select a different one and
set the font there.

The line numbering dialog has a drop-down list to determine the to be used
character style. That is similar to the list style dialog where you can
determine the character style for the list numbering. So I thought that would
be obvious, but apparently not.

Most (all?) of the predefined character styles do not set a font. That way the
font defined in the paragraph where a portion of text is located is used when
the character style is applied to that portion of text.

"Line Numbering" is different as the numbers are not inside a paragraph. But do
we want line numbering to follow the paragraph of the same line, for example?
That would result in different character styles in the column of line numbers
when e.g. a block quote has a different font than the surrounding text, or when
headings have a different font than the basic text. So I think, that would be
no good solution.
