--- Comment #5 from Aron Budea <[email protected]> ---
This isn't exactly a case of missing font, but when only a font family is
specified. There's some handling of this in MSO/Windows (also mentioned in bug
113007, focusing on the configurability aspect), but I'm not sure of the
extent.

When a file is saved in OOXML/binary MS format, the likely reason is that at
some point in its life it's expected to be opened/edited in Office, or some
other office product trying to be compatibly with Office. Writer can try
showing the same font as Office, and be cross-platform as well, provided the
same font is installed on the system, which is reasonable in this case. Of
course if Times New Roman isn't available, it's best to fall back to the next
option. And ultimately, Writer can do its own, independent fallback mechanism
in ODF format.
