Bug ID: 158296
Summary: Show the fallback font in the Writer UI
Product: LibreOffice
Version: Inherited From OOo
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: chris.sherloc...@gmail.com
Description:
When a glyph cannot be found in the font being used, we fallback to another
font that has the relevant glyph. Unfortunately, it is not obvious what font we
are using, or even if we are actually using a fallback font.
I would like to find a way to show this in the Writer UX.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Type in some text with CJK and latin characters.
2. Highlight all the text and make it a font that doesn't have latin characters
(like for instance, Source Han Sans)
3. Now look at the latin-based characters. You cannot tell what font is being
selected. On MacOS this falls back to Helvetica, on Linux it's another font and
on Windows its another.
Actual Results:
Cannot see what font is being actually displayed as the fallback font.
Expected Results:
I would like to know what the font being actually displayed is.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
I found this whilst I was writing a unit test for text layout - see
