------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Apr 2 16:22:17 +0000 2008 ------- The issue is more complex than that: 1. it's not a Font A or Font B. It can be Font A with bits from font B is Font A has not a particular glyph or set of glyphs. 2. The replacements bits can be taken from a set of fonts, not just one other font 3. You don't want OO.o to automagically change the font from A to B in a document when it's modified on a system without font A. That would pose problems when the document is moved back to a system with font A (and if font A and the replacement font are present on this system you want to use the original font A choice everywhere). 4. Asking the user each time a substitution occurs is going to get old fast for many users (and is UI-intensive) 5. It's not silent failure. Failure would be not to display a document content when the original font is not present, or is not complete enough to display all the text entered by the user. So : 1. A visual indication next to a Font Name that it's partially or totally replaced on system would work. 2. Since the substitution can be partial, any correct user feedback requires A.either dumping the user to a charmap where you can find out what font is used for each glyph when font A is replaced (à la gucharmap; gucharmap integration on *nix systems would solve many user problems) B. Or a special display mode where the parts of the document where substitution occurs are highlighted and a mouseover each highlighted character shows the font actually used in a tooltip. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
