Yes i see now that it would be complicated to have a useful indication in the font drop down when fonts have variants and possibly one of those variants are missing. Personally, i would like to know as soon as i opened a document that a particular font or font variant was used in the document and isnt installed on my system, which would mean that i'm not seeing the file as it was originally created. It showing up as a dialog box would be great or possibly as an notification popup like IE or firefox < http://upload.macromedia.com/exchange/dreamweaver/previews/ie-ff-coolbar.jpg >, < http://davidtenser.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/popup-blocker.png >, < http://media.askvg.com/articles/images5/Addon_Ready_For_Use_Internet_Explorer_Notification.png >. Basically something that would be hard to miss, but could be disable permanently for those that dont care to have the feature. Right now with the testing i'm doing for .docx files, i have to unzip the file, go into the xml file with the list of fonts and then make sure i have those fonts installed in order to make sure that the file will be rendered correctly. But if there was a simpler means to find out the list of fonts that are used in a particular file, that would quite helpful. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
