--- Comment #21 from Paddy Landau <paddy at landau.ws> ---
LO identifies a replaced font in the font bar by using italics for the font
name, and a tooltip that reads, "Font Name. The current font is unavailable and
will be substituted."

While this information is both useful and welcome, it is insufficient: I need
to know which font has been used as a replacement.

After some searching, the only method that I can find is clumsy and entirely
unintuitive. Export as a PDF; open the PDF in LibreOffice Draw; select the text
> right-click > Character > Fonts.

It would be hugely helpful if the tooltip could show the replacement font, or
at least if we could view the replacement from some menu option — perhaps Tools
> Options > LibreOffice > Fonts > "View replaced fonts" or something like that.

LO 7.0.2.2
Ubuntu 20.04

Thank you
