If you will follow Steve's description yes, because there the first 
sheet has got a direct formatting. But that does not change the general 
setting and the new sheet will have the general setting with Arial.

If you will follow my guide, the new sheet will have the new font, 
because it is changed in style.

I usually also set my favorite number formats in the style. And I set 
the language to 'none' and make a new style text_de and text_en with 
language German and English respectively.

And as I like printed grids I change the page style too.

Unfortunately it is not possible to set column and row width/height in a 
style.
