yes, it's a duplicate, doesn't make sense to have two issues open for the same
thing.
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 is replaced by font
".
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.
