No, no, seriously. LibreOffice also does font substitution in normal text. But
as a user I don't see any way to figure out what it's doing.

Case in point: on Ubuntu if I choose "Arial" in the font dialog, LO says "This
font has not been installed. The closest available font will be used." But it
doesn't tell me what font it's using.

In this example I just happen to know that it will be Liberation Sans, but
whether because of configuration in LO or in Ubuntu, I have no idea. And in the
current case LO wasn't doing font substitution at all.
