Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: How to find out which fonts are used in an Open Document?
I have a vague recollection of this, or something very like it, cropping up before. If it is not already an area marked for development, I think it should certainly be. I think that if a font is being replaced, the reader of the document should be given the ability to easily ascertain that this is the case. Perhaps somewhere in document properties there should be a tab or something to list the names of each font used in the document, giving original name together with associated replacements, if a replacement font has been used; and/or an option to open a dialog box for any font not found, and the replacement that will be used, at the time of opening a document. /Gary From: Pedro <pedl...@gmail.com> To: users@global.libreoffice.org Sent: Saturday, 6 February 2016, 0:06 Subject: [libreoffice-users] Re: How to find out which fonts are used in an Open Document?

Indeed it does show the original font but it is not efficient to have to click on every text box on every slide to check the font (especially because several fonts can be used in a single text box). I'm really hoping that someone has a magical extension that does this :P -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/How-to-find-out-which-fonts-are-used-in-an-Open-Document-tp4174339p4174402.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

When you open an Open Document and don't have the fonts used in the document they will be replaced by a similar font. Therefore when you create the PDF in a computer that doesn't have all the original fonts, the fonts embedded are the replacement fonts. This means that the PDF font list will show the fonts currently used but not the name of the original ones. Oh, indeed. I assumed that you were talking about the situation where you were the author of the document and wanted to be able to specify to a recipient exactly what fonts s/he would need.
