Yes I remember. The change to the font only sticks to the first sheet 
with my explanation.
You need to follow Regina's procedure and it works ok.

Take an new document.
Open "Styles and Formatting" window. Right click style "Default", then
"Modify...".
Goto tab "Font" and choose your favorite font. OK.
Save the document as template.
Set this template as your default template.
