            Bug ID: 100900
           Summary: [Enhancement] inform user when a font style doesn't
                    exist (bold, italic,...)
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 3.3.0 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: [email protected]

I'm not sure it's a good summary, feel free to correct it.

When we use font attributes there are two cases :
- the font file with the attribute exists. So the font definition is used.
- the font file with the attribute doesn't exists, so a mathematical
transformation is used to display the font.

A user doesn't know, when using bold for example, if the font definition is
used or if it's a mathematical transforms of the regular font.

The result of bold font is often (always) better than a mathematical transform
to have a bold effect

I think that the user should be informs of what the system does.
of course, the information should be very discrete
