OpenOffice silently substitutes a 'best-fit' font if a desired font is not 
available. It would be helpful if the use of a substitute font was drawn to the 
User's attention: this might make a Summer of Code project.

John_Ha (en_Forum) says: "I use the TestFonts add-on to check which fonts are 
in use - some of the code might be re-useable. TestFonts only checks when you 
run it. It would be more useful if the notification that a "called for font" 
was missing was continuous - perhaps colouring the font name in the font box? 
Or a window opening at startup saying that "Fonts A, B and C fonts called for, 
but are missing; so X has been substituted for A, Y for B and Z for C"."
