Bug ID: 94327
Summary: UI: Apply current font substitutions
Product: LibreOffice
Version: Inherited From OOo
Hardware: Other
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: UI
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
It would be very useful to have a way to replace all existing missing fonts
with their substitutions.
We've been using StarOffice, OpenOffice, and LibreOffice for many years. Many
of our documents were created years ago and have been moved to new systems with
different names for similar fonts. As a result, most of our documents look
fine, but suffer from font substitution issues.
Manually fixing these missing fonts can be quite arduous, since the fonts can
be found anywhere in these documents, from styles to direct formatting changes
to character, paragraph, etc...
I'm not too sure how best to implement such a feature. At its most simple, it
could be a simple button, hidden under the File -> Properties -> Font tab. On
the more complicated side, it would also be nice to at least see a list of all
fonts currently being substituted and all of the replacements.
The best implementation I can think of would be to modify the existing font
replacement table (Tools->Options->LibreOffice->Fonts) so that it also shows
the current active font substitutions in your current document. It would need
some way to differentiate the normal global font replacements and the current
document replacements. It could possibly show the actively substituted fonts
as bold and allow you to right click the font to apply the replacement and
offer an "apply all" button. This implementation has the benefit of clearly
showing a user all of the missing fonts in their document. It also could give
the user a way to quickly set common global font replacements that they might
run into in other documents.
