Created attachment 194777 [details] Brao Khmer English Dictionary I was sent an ODT document of a Brao-Khmer-English dictionary to proof which I opened with Writer. The font specified in the document for Brao and Khmer wasn't installed but Writer never said this on opening the document. Instead of telling me this and letting me choose a replacement font, Writer substituted what it thought was the nearest font. This replacement font didn't render correctly for the Khmer and Brao languages. The problem was that even though I didn't have Khmer Busra Bunong installed, Writer placed the name of the font in the font dropdown menu and said it was using this font on the tool bar. This made me think Writer wasn't rendering the font properly. So I changed a few words to Khmer Mondulkiri font and it rendered correctly. Then I tried to do a find and replace to the Khmer Mondulkiri font but Writer said it couldn't find the Khmer Busra Bunong font. Why did the program show a font and say it was using a font not installed? In doing this and not asking what font to substitute I couldn't tell what font Writer was actually using. Once I figured out the font wasn't installed I did install the Khmer Busra Bunong font it rendered correctly and all was well. Suggestion: Notify the user a font in the document isn't installed and let the user choose a replacement font. If the user doesn't choose a replacement font, don't add the name of the font not installed on the font menu/toolbar, but state what font was substituted. I hope this is an easy fix and helps others. Thank you for the work you have done on this product. Craig
Please note that the font not found is listed in italics. But could be more obvious -- bug 96872 The italics indicate a font substitution was made, unfortunately not what the replacement font is. The original font taken from the paragraph style is retained, allowing use of the font substitution table rather than fall back. As well as some document portability considerations that would suffer if the was bulk font substitution without user selection.
