I do not remember that you can save a font style and such in a plain 
text file.

How did you set up the "Styles and Formatting" to open plain text files 
to Bookman Old?  I do not remember how this is done or if it can be done 
for the "default" font used on opening a specific mime-type file for 
.txt or such.

my 3.5.7 - 64-bit DEBs install gives me:

   save as "text" - DejaVu Sans Mono

   save as "text encoded" - Times New Roman - which was the font that
   it was in when I saved the document.


So "Text Encoded" should keep the text font/style you used for the 
document and save it as a ".txt" mime type or file extension type.
