            Bug ID: 138857
           Summary: Make the font replacement table easier to understand
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.2.0.0.alpha0+ Master
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: glogow at fbihome.de

Half of this is a "fuzzy" report.

I just had a user trying to use the font replacement dialog and failing to get
any result. What to expect from the state of the checkboxes in that table is
really hard to understand, IMHO impossible without the help page. I'm not sure
this can be simplified.

The whole workflow seems strange: You have to enable the checkbox "apply font
replacement table" to actually edit the table. But that checkbox is beneath it.

Currently that checkboy enables the buttons and the table, but disabling the
checkbox doesn't disable the buttons (just a minor error). And the font combo
boxes are always enabled.

IMHO the fixes needed are:
1. Consistently dis- and enable all the controls involved
2. Move the checkbox above the table

I will push a patch for that to Gerrit as an initial fix.

But then I propose that the UX people have a look at it and eventually we can
come up with some good ideas to make the usage more clear with a better
workflow.
