Macro to replace all Windows fonts fails

[Tux2]

Running LibreOffice 7.0.0.3 on Linux 5.8.0-1-default [openSUSE Tumbleweed 20200818]

If I open a .docx and record a new macro to replace Verdana and Arial with “DejaVu Sans”, I see no references of the font names in the macro, and the macro does nothing al all.

• I enabled recording macro’s

• Start recording macro

  • Ctrl-H
  • Focus on Find
  • Hit [Format]
  • Choose “Verdana” font
  • Hit [OK]
  • Focus on Replace
  • Hit [Format]
  • Choose “DejaVu Sans” font
  • Hit [OK]
  • Check [] Including Styles
  • Hit [Replace All]
  • Focus on Find
  • Hit [Format]
  • Choose “Arial” font
  • Hit [OK]
  • Hit [Replace All]
  • Hit [Close]

Hit End recording

This looks like a case where you have to write code, not just use the recorder.
