Don't get me wrong, I believe font substitution is a valuable feature and I have it enabled knowingly, but sometimes it leads to unexpected behaviour. For example, there is a document available on [1] that aims to compare the metrics of some freely available fonts with the ones from Times New Roman and Arial. If I have neither of these fonts installed on my system but only e.g. ttf-dejavu, then *all* fonts in this document will look the same on my computer since they all get substituted with the dejavu fonts. So all available text in this document will look the same, because it is rendered in the same font. However, when I highlight some text, the font chooser box still tells me that the current text is written in e.g. "Times New Roman". This isn't wrong either, since the text is formatted in TNR, but it doesn't tell me that what I see is actually not TNR, but dejavu-serif. So what I'd like to see is some visible hint that tells me font A has been substituted by font B on my system, because font A could not be found. --- snip --- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
