Many applications work in much this same way -- attempting to find the "closest" match for a non-available font,. In any case, there is an outdated, though still useful wiki page that delves into this very issue. The page could use some updates. I think this situation might apply to more platforms and not just *nix. https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Font-FAQ#What_is_Font_Fallback_in_OpenOffice.org_2.3F -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the issue.
