My personal preference is to create a BaseFont style, which never gets
applied to any styles, but exists solely to base everything else on, but

but I like being able to change the font at one swoop.

This removes Normal from the equation entirely, so that I can mess about
with everyday documents without worrying whether I am doing anything to my
custom template.

If I
wish to switch a document from Paper to Electronic output, I can instantly
switch all the fonts from serif to sans by updating Normal Style.

On the other hand, for documents destined for paper only, which have to
adhere to a tight publication style guide, I will break the link to Normal
for everything.



You should name your style "Abnormal" then
