Fair enough, but the link you gave doesn't say when "REOPENED" applies. (In reply to Caolán McNamara from comment #5) > FWIW there are two levels of substitution. So, actually, I think you're describing three levels: 1. Font is missing altogether 2. Specific glyph is missing altogether (i.e. all variants) 3. Variant of glyph is missing (e.g. bold vs non-bold, italic vs roman) and I might add another level 1.5" between (1.) and (2.), which would be an entire block on the Unicode plane missing (block e.g. in the sense of the Insert Special Character dialog). My interest is mostly levels 1.5 and 2. , and to a lesser extent level 3. I, and I believe many users, need to know which font (family) is _actually_ used to render their text, or their text in a certain language: 1. To prevent cases of different rendering on another system due to different fallbacks. 2. To be able to choose between font families for their text - rather than making the choice with the different options mis-represented: You think you've chosen font Foo but it's actually font Bar; then you continue down and notice that Baz seems to remind you of Foo a lot, but you don't know if it's because they're actually similar, or because they both fall bar to Bar. Now, you said the "higher levels" aren't aware of this. But - we can definitely see which glyphs are available in which font, using the Insert Special Character dialog. Doesn't that mean that we _do_ have this visibility? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
