Hi, Mehul, cc: Jambunathan,

I agree with Mehul it would be great to have an option to specify a 
styles file on a per-file basis. Something like:

   #+ODT_STYLE: ~/org/odt-templates/cv.odt

Jambunathan, please consider this a feature request (if you haven't 
implemented it already, and I've missed it as usual...)

Many users will want to use different styles files for different kinds 
of document (e.g. report.odt, cv.odt). Customizing 
org-export-odt-styles-file every time they've got a different kind of 
document to export does not seem the best way. There should be a way 
for each Org file to remember what ODT style it wants, parallel to the 
options that exist for html (#+STYLE) and latex (#+LATEX_HEADER).

As for specifying fonts, etc., in ODT export, that's definitely 
something that should be done through the choice of an external style 
template. The org-odt exporter has done its job if everything you 
could reasonably want to style is exported in a named paragraph or 
character style that you can apply a template to.

Yours,
Christian

PS. Mehul, I do have a stopgap solution for specifying the style 
template on a per-file basis. Place this somewhere in your Org 
document (e.g. before the first heading), and replace 
"/path/to/template.odt" with the path to your styles file.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :results silent :exports results
(setq org-export-odt-styles-file "/path/to/template.odt")
#+end_src
