--- Comment #5 from Mike Kaganski <mikekaganski at hotmail.com> ---
Basically, this is a part of bug 88559. The said bug 88559 is about display of
*any* case when any property is not defined in this style; and the specific
case when *the whole hierarchy* of styles (of a specific kind) does not define
such a property should be resolved together (and character styles are not some
kind of an edge case).

We definitely need to use *some* font for preview. But the preview can have a
tooltip or another notification that "properties not defined in the character
style and its ancestors are taken from document's defaults". The fields
themselves should have the indication of inheritance (bug 88559) and some
indication that no inherited value exist, to address what RGB reports.

Note that Liberation Serif is the hardcoded *default* for a new document, and
can de changed (with the awful, not intuitive, and actually misleading UI) -
see bug 152537. It is *not* the same as Paragraph's Default style's font, but
the UI in the Options dialog affects them both.
