Font changes to New Times Roman in AutoText when generating doc

I want my report in font Arial. This works fine as long as I do not use auto generated text. When I use "Page" and "Total page Count" from AutoText the font in this cell always gets changed to Times New Roman when generating a DOC Report. 
 
When viewing the report as PDF it works like expected and all the text is in "Arial". 
 
Is there a solution to this? 
 
Extract from XML source: 
<cell id="246"> 
<auto-text id="195"> 
<property name="fontFamily">"Arial"</property> 
<property name="textAlign">left</property> 
<property name="type">total-page</property> 
</auto-text> 
</cell>

What version of BIRT are you using? So, the rest of your text is displayed correctly in Arial, just not the auto-text? If you put a static arial text box in the masterpage footer with the auto-text, does it work correctly? This sounds very buggy to me. Let me know.

Thanks for your respond. Yes all other text is displayed in Arial. In the example below I used the autotext "Page n of m". The text "of" in the Text tag (<text id="433">) is displayed in Arial, both numbers (page-number and total-page) are display in Times New Roman when using the wird-emitter. 
 
I am using BIRT Designer Version 2.6.0 
 
 
<page-footer> 
<grid id="425"> 
<property name="fontFamily">"Arial"</property> 
<column id="426"/> 
<column id="427"/> 
<column id="428"/> 
<row id="429"> 
<cell id="430"> 
<auto-text id="431"> 
<property name="type">page-number</property> 
</auto-text> 
</cell> 
<cell id="432"> 
<text id="433"> 
<property name="contentType">plain</property> 
<text-property name="content"><![CDATA[of]]></text-property> 
</text> 
</cell> 
<cell id="434"> 
<auto-text id="435"> 
<property name="type">total-page</property> 
</auto-text> 
</cell> 
</row> 
</grid> 
</page-footer>

One more question. Does this happen from the designer, when deployed, or both? Once you let me know, I'll check it out in 2.6.0 and 2.6.1 and see if I see the same and if I see any differences between the version you're on and the newest version.

I see the same thing in 2.6.0 and 2.6.1. Please log a bug for this at http://www.birt-exchange.org/org/resources/bug-reporting/. Thanks!
