That's odd... for me, using the default character style picks up the 
font from the current paragraph style - so changing the paragraph style 
should work. Perhaps you have a default template where the paragraph 
style is initially set to something else, or the font is set by direct 
formatting? So try ensuring the current paragraph style is set to 
"Default Style", and do Format > Clear Direct Formatting.

Once you've fixed it, you can save the template (File > Save as 
Template) and set it as default (File > New > Templates, select the 
template, and click "Set as default").

If you can't fix the default template, or if it's easier to start again 
from scratch, you should be able to reset it by going to File > New >
