I've got to correct myself here:

When i disable Keyman and go back from Amharic to Latin, MS Word
doesn't go back to the previous Latin font, but stays with GF Zemen.

MS Word moves to GF Zemen Unicode not immediately when i press
Ctrl-Alt-G to enable Keyman, but when i press the first letter key. It
probably identifies that it doesn't have a suitable glyph in Times New
Roman and chooses a suitable font. (I don't know why does it choose
*davka* GF Zemen, because i have several other Amharic fonts, but i am
not complaining, because it happens to be the best ...) When i go back
to Latin, MS Word doesn't change the font back, probably because it
does find Latin glyphs in GF Zemen.

In any case, OpenOffice ignores this language change and leaves the
previous font, no matter what.

Is there at least a quick way to change the font back to the default
character formatting in OpenOffice? In MS Word there is Ctrl-Space.
