LibreOffice's UI handling of replacement fonts and fallback is related but already open: see <a class="bz_bug_link bz_status_NEW " title="NEW - Font substitute name should appear in the font name combobox and in its tooltip" href="show_bug.cgi?id=61134">bug 61134</a>, <a class="bz_bug_link bz_status_NEW " title="NEW - UI: Apply current font substitutions" href="show_bug.cgi?id=94327">bug 94327</a>, <a class="bz_bug_link bz_status_NEW " title="NEW - Make it more obvious that a font has been substituted (see comment 12)" href="show_bug.cgi?id=96872">bug 96872</a> Only question there is if the UI is made sufficiently granular to handle single codepoint fallback, e.g. maybe provide a Find & Replace dialog mode for glyph fallback. Disabling glyph fallback substitution--and so showing an installed/assigned fonts' "undefined" placeholder glyph on LO document canvas--is a legitimate approach to handling glyph fallback. It was tangentially provided but has now been removed by dropping "SAL_DISABLE_FC_SUBST" control. The general user preference will be for glyph fallbak as provided by os/DE, IMHO don't see much demand to override that as IIUC it is not possible to implement cross platform. But I'd like to hear dev perspective on that.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
