Heh, indeed, "fonts that might be changed" never crossed my mind!

Absolutely agreed. I'd expect a fallback to a font that *is* available
and a notice in a status bar that fonts have been replaced due to errors.
Nothing that would make a user *click* on anything but that would clearly
explain the issue for a user curious why a document doesn't look right.

Thanks
