Example: Segoe is not available but Frutiger is. FC suggests the latter as a fallback. Should OOo use Frutiger or should it ask AutoFontsAndMimeInstaller to search the internet for Segoe? - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

But that will only happen if OO.o people look at the initial implementation and identify areas that need improvement (however even limited support at first is better than no support at all) - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

The resulting modal dialog may be annoying though e.g. when something with an invalid encoding is pasted resulting in gazillions of weird codepoints. Regarding RFEs for this feature I already have an idea: make FC interact with AFAMI directly. If an app asks for a font with support for a specific codepoint and FC does not find a good answer, it should ask AFAMI for help. IMHO it should be configurable whether FC does this asynchronously, synchronously (using a modal) dialog or if the feature is disabled, globally or application specific or as part of the font pattern. OOo already does the right thing when the equivalent of a WM_FONTCHANGED comes along. I would prefer it to be asynchronous by default. And having a patterns like FC_AUTOFONT_REQUIRED, FC_AUTOFONT_SUGGESTED, FC_AUTOFONT_MAYBE or FC_AUTOFONT_DONTCARE would help to distinguish important use cases such as idle formating or UI-text. IMHO most external observers overestimate the number of OO.o people working on stuff like this... - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

I still think you should concentrate on a FC-AFAMI interaction and then making sure that apps such OOo gets notified when they succeeded in installing new fonts. OOo will happily reformat then. Having FC negotiate with AFAMI would have so many benefits... as I already said in #desc5 FC has the full picture of what is going on, what is missing etc. And as a central configuration entity for font-related questions it will better know the relationships between different fonts, where to get them directly, where to get nice substitutions. Managing the font autoinstallation from a module other than FC just calls for trouble, useless extra work, annoying modal dialogs, etc. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

Fontconfig also gets asked when codepoints are not supported by a font (glyph fallback). Other apps also go via fontconfig, so it has a pretty good picture of what is going on: which fonts are available, which fonts are requested, which codepoints/languages need more support and in which font contexts these languages are used. So I think the best approach would be that fontconfig makes a list of suggestions first. The next step is to either broadcast the suggestions directly to AFI or have OOo poll the suggestions once in a while and broadcast them. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
