That part works great.

I tested it with an existing OO2 outline. Imported it into OO3 and then 
exported
to Keynote using my theme preference. Except for one slide out of 17 
their
was no tweaking involved. Even if more slides had a problem -- it would 
still
be one less step.

Another reason why choosing a font makes sense is because a lot of 
companies use
particular font types as part of their corporate identity.

Well OO is saving me a ton of time getting my points into keynote.
It already lets me choose a theme why not default fonts for titles and
bullet text?
