I looked there but it seems to be basically a font replacement table informing LibreOffice what 
font to substitute when a document uses a font which is not available on the computer. This table 
only sets the font face and not the size.

Secondly, there is a specification for font for html, sql,  and Basic sources.  In any case it 
calls Hack at 15pt which never happens in the spreadsheet. Doesn't seem to apply to my case.

Calc always gives me the fontface I want/specify in the Default.ots template (Liberation Sans).  My 
modified template always provides 4 sheets with the font size set at the 12pt which I specified. 
The problem which I have to correct manually each time, occurs when I create a new sheet. The font 
face is correct but the size reverts to 10pt on the new sheet.

The same goes if a create a new spreadsheet using File > New > Spreadsheet without passing by my 
Default.ots template. The new spreadsheet has the correct number of sheets with the correct font face but 
all set at 10pt.

So I conclude that LibreOffice has some setting deeper within its structure that specifies 10pt.  I 
would like to understand where that setting is and I'm hoping someone can point me to it.
