In Calc headers and footers font formatting is lost after closing file. What to do?

In Calc headers and footers font formatting is lost after closing file. Not always but almos always formatting reverts to Times New Roman 12points.
IWhat do I do wrong? Can I change the default type for headers an footers to Arial 10 point?

Did you save your file as ODS or XLS? If it is XLS it could be a problem of converting. If it is ODS so upload a sample file for better examination.
