Bug ID: 88438
Summary: FONTS: Provide visual clue when substituting a
metric-compatible font
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 4.4.0.2 rc
Hardware: Other
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Libreoffice
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: qu...@runcibility.com
TESTING with LO 4.4.0.2 + Ubuntu 14.04
If a document uses fonts not present on the current system, LibreOffice engages
in font substitution (e.g. see attachment 111591, a DOC file that uses
Cambria), and provides a subtle clue by listing the original font name in
*italics* in the font-picker drop-down.
In the test file mentioned above, the missing font is Cambria, which is very
convenient for us as LibreOffice can substitute Caladea, a font that's
metric-compatible:

It would be beneficial if we could provide a further clue so that users would
know if font substitution is taking place with a metric-compatible font. There
could be a asterisk provided, or a little red tag with text "Metric
compatible", or something else.
