Steps to reproduce: 1/ open an existing document in LO 3.6.x 2/ select some text and do Format > Character -> Font tab ==> you can read the following text "The same font will be used on both your printer and your screen" just above the preview, if the font is installed on your system. If the font is not installed on your system, you can read a text saying that the font is not installed and another similar font will be used instead. Do the same with LO 4.0 beta1 : there is no information text above the preview, so it is impossible to know if the font used to render the text is the right font. Tested with LO 4.0 beta1 and LO 4.0 beta1+ (Build ID: 789ec89fceb949eee482ecb7731a3d7b1ac0660) under Ubuntu 12.04 x86_64 Best regards. JBF
Created attachment 71596 [details] LO 3.6.4 case
Created attachment 71597 [details] LO 4.0beta1 case
The string "The same font will be used on both your printer and your screen" is still in the source code : http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/svtools/source/control/ctrltool.src#62 That tends to confirm that there is a bug here. Best regards. JBF
On pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today (last commit 3bbe79eef841ae4a756593557641e32fa28c0184), I confirm this.
Caolán: one for you?
Hello I confirm with LO 4.0beta1 & windows 7 64bits Regards Pierre-Yves
yeah, I removed it because the text only referred to the "Western" font and not the CJK and CTL one. But if its missed I'll restore it, technically misleading as it is under those circumstances

that should do it

But if its missed I'll restore it, technically > misleading as it is under those circumstances Ah, I was not aware of this limitation. Perhaps it is time to think about a better way to notify the user that some used fonts are not available. Thank you very much for the fix. Verified in Version 4.0.0.0.beta1+ (Build ID: 268352b13d54ac4195246f6fc75a9f490b8a4de) Best regards. JBF
