Bug ID: 128025
Summary: silent font replacement - no warning ebaout missing
font/glyph in a font, no information about used font
for (automatical) replacement, different behavior in
lo-math an lo-writer
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 6.1.3.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: sebastian.zschernig at hoga-schulen.de
Description:
When I use a font, which doesn't contain all glyphs I use
or
if a document uses a font, which is not installed on my system,
so LO usually shows all glyphs using another font.
But there is no warning about it, also I don't get any information about, which
glyphs are replaced and which font is used instead.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use the unicode letter number 1D4DB (html: 𝓛 or 𝓛 )
2. Use DejaVu Sans
3. Use the same letter in a LO-math-formula in writer
Actual Results:
in Text LO uses an ugly glyph
in math-formula as a variable LO uses a nice glyph
in math-formula as text LO uses the ugly glyph see above
Expected Results:
a „warning“ (changing background color for glyphs with font replacement e.g.)
and information about the font used instead the desired one (in formatting bar
or as popup or ... or at least explaining in LO-help how to get this
information)
also the possibility to define replacement suggestions would be nice
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
1.this is a bug for years already,
2. the example given above is just for one glyph missing in one font, but
similar things happen for whole texts using fonts, that aren't installed on a
system,
3. the „nice“ glyph should be included in LO-math as setL (as setR, setN are
defined)
