2. INTERCHANGING DOCUMENTS WITH FONT DEPENDENCIES

When fonts use essentially the same code points for the same characters, but 
with differences in font-face design, there are techniques to substitute a 
close kindred font when the specific font is not available to the consumer of a 
document.  This might create problems with metrics, but there are many fonts 
that substitute well enough.   Systems may provide automatic substitutions for 
fonts that are not installed.  Products also have ways to let users direct the 
substitutions.

Example:  In LibreOffice, the Tools | Options | LibreOffice | Fonts dialog 
provides for substitutions.  The Help topic indicates the range of capabilties.
The LO fonts dialogue referenced above does not show missing fonts and allow substitution (not in 3.3.2). If I open a document with Calibri (not on my system) and go to Tools | Options | LibreOffice | Fonts I cannot see the missing font Calibri or select it in the list of fonts to substitute.

Is this a bug or intended functionality?
