Summary	0012631: [Regression] Font selection in the 'Tool' tab of the Document Setup is being ignored by Scribus
Description	A feature that used to work reliably in 1.3.3.x ceased to work somewhere along the way to 1.4.4, namely the default font choice for text. Scribus stubbornly refuses to apply another font choice than the original default font.
Steps To Reproduce	1) Create a new doc. 2) Insert a text frame. 3) Insert text. 4) Go to File > Document Setup and change the default font in the Tools section. 5) Create another text frame and insert text. --> Scribus still uses the original default font.
Additional Information	1) A restart of Scribus doesn't help. 2) The phenomenon can be observed with both 1.4.x and 1.5.svn. 3) It's the same on OpenSUSE 13.1.

jghali 2014-08-24 11:58 administrator ~0033332	Duplicate of 0012612. For as long as styles have existed in Scribus, after creating document, the only way to change default font has been to change the default character style font.
