Abiword uses xml files for all of its configuration setting.
You can see them in (#1), /usr/share/abiword-3.0/templates. They all have the .awt extension.
The "normal" templates (#2)) control the aspects of run of the mill paragraph text. Headings, footers, etc. may have their own template files, or the defining characteristics of each, in this ultra-configurable application, might have a template of their own
header1.awt
header2.awt
header3.awt
footer.awt
blocktext.awt
plaintext.awt
etc....
I don't know. You can find out.
A cheap and easy way to change the default font is to change the xml file. (#3)Code: gksudo medit /usr/share/abiword-3.0/templates/normal.awt The gksudo is to grant root permission so the file can be edited by mere mortals.
If you know the exact name of the font family, you delete Times New Roman (#4) and replace it with Arial, or Comic Sans, or whatever is the name.
There is no error correction so if you don't hit it exactly the application might suffer a brain aneurysm...I don't know. You can find out.
Further down the line (#5) is the font size. This is more straight forward. Replace the numeral with the one of your choosing.
Save, exit, and test.
The more complicate method isCode: sudo chown moe:moe /usr/share/abiword-3.0/templates/normal.awt Obviously changing moe to your username (nx if not a harddrive installation)
2. Create a new document.
3. Choose from a font list what font you wish to have as the default font.
4. Save this blank document as an .awt file in “Templates” directory /usr/share/abiword-3.0/templates
and 5.Code: sudo chown root:root /usr/share/abiword-3.0/templates/normal.awt
to put it back to the proper ownership.Attachment:

The locate doesn't find anything because, out of the box, the database has not been created.Code: sudo updatedb This creates/updates the database, and then locate away to your heart's content.
Good luck
