Well, I am not actually "writing" the macro - I have no idea how to do 
that.
I use "Tools -> Macros -> Record macro" and open the "insert special 
characters dialog box".
THIS is where the problem is.
As far as I can tell, there is no way NOT to select a font in that dialog.
On top you have the "Search / Font / Subset" fields.
"Font" gives you a list of fonts, but not the choice of "none / 
automatic" etc. - or allows you to delete the currently selected font.
I had been hoping to find that kind of choice.

Mr. Pitonyak. Please don't worry. I am not in a hurry. I have been 
pondering this for years already ...

Thank you.
