--- Comment #6 from Coburn Ingram <thrusce at gmail.com> ---
I am being asked for specifics, such as font name and an example file. I am
baffled by this request. I will give you specifics, but I have been using
computers since 1982. When this sort of thing happens, it is not because of the
font you chose!

I set my default font to Gentium 12. Then, in a document, I decided to use
Gentium 10 for the default text. There are a number of actions -- often they
happen, and I cannot go back and identify what caused it -- where the font
reverts to 12 pt. This is new behavior in the recent release.

The other thing that happens is that when LO updates, it reverts my Writer
Options to the defaults that shipped with the original install. It goes back to
Liberation Sans 12, or whatever. I know this because when I do multiple Undo
operations, say 5 CTRL-Z's in a row, the last one, the one that reverts to the
saved file, causes the text to revert to the default formatting. Not my default
formatting, the out-of-the-box formatting.

LO should not overwrite my font preferences with an update. This is new
behavior.

Occasionally I will use two fonts in a document, with one being LTR (Gentium)
and one RTL (Ezra SIL). But the formatting problems are always just with the
English font, or with both fonts indiscriminately.

I am having trouble deciding on a good example file. Maybe next time this
happens I will excerpt a sample page from the book I am on and see if the error
persists.

Please have compassion for the fact that I am not a developer or even a power
user -- though it is possible I have been using the app for longer than you
have. I believe this should be easy to replicate.

Thanks.
