Bug #: 47224
Summary: : Input of Non-Existing Fonts without Warning possible
Classification: Unclassified
Product: LibreOffice
Version: LibO 3.5.0 Release
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Status Whiteboard: BSA
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Libreoffice
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Problem description:
It is possible to type in a font, that is not installed on your system (= fancy
name) without a message. Especially in order to avoid a mistyping of the font
name, I would expect a message "The font XYZ is not installed on your system.
LibreOffice will use the font ABC instead for displaying and printing. Shall
this be done?" or similar.
This message should be displayed at all positions where you can type in the
font name directly. In Writer I found these positions:
- Tool bar 'Formatting'
- Format -> Character... -> tab 'Font'
- Modifying character styles, tab 'Font'
- Modifying paragraph styles, tab 'Font'
Another point in this conjunction: If an uninstalled font is used, a message
"This font has not been installed. The closest available font will be used." is
displayed in the tab 'Font'. To my opinion this is not really correct. How
shall LO know what the closest available font is? Better: "... been installed.
LibreOffice will use the font XYZ for displaying and printing.". Similar as in
bug 44376 proposed, this message also could be marked in red.
Observed in V. 3.4.5 and 3.5.0.
See also bug 44376, which has a similar intention.
