Ubuntu 20.04
LibreOffice 7.1
The font in the Help pages content is Segoe UI, which is an italic font. It is really annoying to read help content when it is all in italic.
I tried the suggestions in https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/how-do-you-set-the-font-used-by-the-lo-help-system-f1/4216. However, if you select some text in the Help contents and paste elsewhere it is automatically changed to the default font.
I opened the /usr/share/libreoffice/help/default.css
file. I guessed at the font by progressively applying the fonts listed in the font-family
attribute to a test string until I got italic after applying Segoe UI.
In default.css
, I removed all mention of Segoe UI, and have replaced all sans font references in the font-family
attribute with serif references (including the generic serif
reference).
After closing LibreOffice Writer and relaunching it, the Help opens with Segoe UI. Oddly enough, when I open a random *.html
help file in BlueGriffon, an html editor, the text is displayed in ‘Palatino’ (URW-P052) as desired.
So somewhere there is a setting that overrides default.css
but where is it? Any ideas how to fix this?
