While not productive to add the comment here, I cannot resist: > - a warning (on opening a document) that substitution is taking place. No, that will not get my support. The user usually doesn't care /that/ much to be annoyed with a dialog she has to click away. > - an option to turn off all substitution and live with black boxes or boxes with the Unicode codepoint number in them. Make it an environment variable if that's easier That again is a very, very unlikely szenario for a user. I doubt anyone would like to have an unreadable document. This is the wrong cure to the real problem. You probably think of this as a way to spot the places where fallback did occur, but IMHO this is a very bad way to deal with it. > - an indication in the font dropdown box that substitution is taking place (at the cursor position / in the selection). A symbol, different color, anything. The dropdown probably is the wrong place, as the user (when creating a document) will not see non-installed fonts there, so cannot chose a non-installed font other than by typing in the fonts name. In that case, the user already knows the font is not available, and is actually explicitly requesting fallback in that case. > - a way to search for substituted glyphs / fonts Yes, that's closed to a workable solution. I'd think of a notification in the statusbar. "green" no substitution in place, "orange" glyph fallback, "red" font-fallback (just states, not real design proposal :-)) click on it and get a list similar to "Font <notavailable> is replaced by font <installedfont>". For the glyph fallback this is harder, as you cannot simply put the character in the UI, since very likely the ui font will not contain that symbol either, so either use unicode codepoints or a "highlight all font replacements" and "highlight all glyph fallbacks" function. IMHO the glyph fallback one is more important, as single alien characters within text stand out more, than whole paragraphs/document in the same (replacement) font. Anyway, flagging as duplicate. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 45128 *** --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
