Still better would be to integrate this change into the shared
configuration. You can install your special Common.xcu using
'/program/unopkg add --shared Common.xcu' and the contained
settings will be available to all users. You may also try including this
directly into the installation package, so it is installed under
/share/registry. In either case the settings apply to all users
automatically.

Before you do any of this, you should clean up the file, and remove the
settings that are outside of the FontSubstitution tag.
