Changing pagination of front matter in PDF files from roman to arabic numerals

By default, my PDF file comes out with roman numerals for the TOC (ii, iii, etc). I would like to change that to arabic numerals (2, 3, etc.)
I think I have to change format="i" to format="1" in a file somewhere in \AppData\Roaming\SoftQuad\XMetaL Shared\DITA_OT\demo\xmfo\ but I'm not sure which file exactly. I've tried a couple at random but no luck.
I'm Using XMetal 6.0 on Windows 7 and deliverable type XMetal Enhanced PDF via RenderX XEP.
Thanks

The file is
%appdata%\SoftQuad\XMetaL Shared\DITA_OT\demo\xmfo\xsl\fo\toc.xsl
Line 62 controls this. Here's the OOTB version:
<fo:page-sequence master-reference="toc-sequence" format="i" xsl:use-attribute-sets="__force__page__count">

Thansk!
For some reason when I tried that yesterday the output failed and I saw the following error in the log file:
[echo] C:\Users\ifusey\AppData\Roaming\SoftQuad\XMETAL~1\DITA_OT\temp/stage2.fo Started[java] Fatal error reported by XML parser: invalid UTF-8 byte (check the XML declaration) (code: 0xa9)
But I tried it again just now and it worked. So thank you.

Hello,
Is there a way to change the numbering from roman numerals to arabic numerals for a customization, please? Would the steps be the same or is there a file I can change in the following folder to overwrite this setting?
C:\Program Files\Common Files\XMetaL Shared\DITA_OT\demo\xmfo\Customization2\fo
Thanks!
