It is no good idea to use hard formatting. So select nothing, but open 
style and formatting window and set the desired font in the style 
"default" in group "cell styles". I use a non-proportional font for example.
In the same window you can add new styles which you need often. For 
example I have add a style for English text, a style for German text, 
and a style for high precision scientific number format.

That is the way I do it.

If you set it in the default style, all document based on this template 
will use it.
