> Horrible idea.
But I haven't even given a concrete idea, how can you know it's horrible
beforehand?
And - how am I supposed to know if the fonts LO offers me even have the
(combination of) languages I'm trying to write in? The only thing LO is willing
to tell me is whether it's a "Western", "Complex", or "Asian" font family.
> And we already provide for this with the Special Characters... dialog.
Hmm, yes, that's true, that dialog doesn't show the silly fallback text.
But it's very inconvenient for someone to have to go back and forth between the
two dialogs, to check.
Possible ways to get this indication:
* Filter the language-family font-family-list by chosen language and features.
* Sub-option: Same, but allow requiring multiple languages.
* Stylistic indication of which fonts in the language-family font-family list
support the chosen language.
* Have some button or hover-over-able widget open up a list, perhaps bulleted
by symbolic icons, of the BMP regions covered by the font family. i.e.
essentially the same list from the Insert Special Character dialog.
Orthogonally to the above:
* Add ability to toggle the fallback font use in the preview area of the font
selection dialog, on or off.
