            Bug ID: 128874
           Summary: Font substitutions / missing fonts in a document are
                    difficult to recognize on iOS
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: Other
                OS: iOS
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: iOS
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: contact at 0x17.ch

Description:
If a document uses a font which is not available on the iPad the app won't tell
the user about the missing font and there is no information about the fact that
font substitution was done.

At least showing the font name in italic in the font list would help to figure
out, that the used font is missing.

A better approach would be to have a message letting the user know that he/she
misses a specific font.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a document with a font that is not generally installed on an iPad
(e.g. "Comic Sans MS")
2. Open the document usign the iOS app

Actual Results:
The text will be shown in a different font and the user won't be informed about
the fact, that he/she misses a font which is used in the document.

Expected Results:
Either explicitally tell the user about the missing font or show the font in
italic in the font-list (which is not very obvious for novice users but somehow
is the way how this has been done for years).


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
