So in the end, the user is made unsure on a point he cannot avoid anything. Then the warning is useless. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

I suppose that fonts are no different than any other issue. Where is the page that lists known features to avoid in OOo to ensure portability? I would like to see if fonts are mentioned there, but I cannot find that page right now. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

Most fonts available on any particular OS are not available on other operating systems. Font substitutions in this case can affect document layout, as glyph widths will most likely differ.

Is there a flag inside of the font which says I'm not portable? I guess we should warn for approx 90% of the fonts which makes the warning useless... Or am I wrong? - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

Only Times New Roman, Ariel, and Courier seem to be portable across Linux and Windows (I have no Mac to test). That is why I suggested that the check be optional, not the default. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

Do you get the point? It's more the notice in the online help which would suite. Plus, AFAIK, it is possible to some extend to embed the fonts in the PDF. @HI: please take over. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

OOo already warns that _some_ formatting may be lost, but this would be an easy way to suggest to the user how to increase document compatibility. Of the twenty or so OOo users I know, most only use .doc format to interoperate with users of other office suites. However when straying from Times New Roman, Ariel, or Courier they suffer document fidelity issues. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
