Word Processor Font Defaults

Writer presently uses Liberation Serif for text and Liberation Sans for
headings, which is equivalent to Times New Roman for text and Arial for
headings used in Word 2003.

In MSO 2007, Word shifted to using a sans font for text and serif font for
headings (the opposite of Word 2003), with the sans font Calibri for text and
the serif font Cambria for headings, while Word 2013 began uses Calibri for
text and Calibri Light for headings (both sans). Google Docs and iWork Pages
also use sans fonts for both text and headings.

Below are defaults used in various word processors and the attachment shows the
visual appearances of these defaults.

LibreOffice
Liberation Sans (Arial) 18.2pt for Heading 1
Liberation Serif (Times New Roman) 12pt for Text

MSO 2007/2010
