Description Volga 2017-10-09 08:09:32 UTC 
Description:
Windows registery has several paths intended to specify fallback fonts. If LibreOffice imported a document on Windows, but having a font not installed in system, then LibreOffice should load fallback font as the registery specified, unless user specified replacement table via Tools - Options - Fonts. These paths including:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontLink\SystemLink
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontMapperFamilyFallback
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\LanguagePack\SurrogateFallback\
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\LanguagePack\SurrogateFallback\ (for 64-bit apps)

64-bit version of Windows also has the following registery paths for this purpose:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontLink\SystemLink
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes
