--- Comment #1 from LibreTraining <libretraining.tutorials at gmail.com> ---
One of the most difficult things I have found in moving to LibreOffice is the
often confusing, or ambiguous, or just plain wrong text in some of the dialogs.

And then it is near impossible to find the documentation.
I too gave up on the online web search.
The results are usually useless.
Using search engines usually works better, and finds other websites too.

The integrated help search is equally bad.
It appears there is no human enhanced indexing at all.
Common terms return nothing.
So again - off to the search engine.


Your comments are valid. 
The dialog is very confusing, and in some places just wrong.

"Font Posture" - no user is going to search for this, and it makes no sense.
Normal and Italics are both font postures.
Users may want to search for "Italics"
Or give them the option to actually search for either font posture.

"Font Weight" - does not = Bold by definition or any other measure.
Users may want to search for "Bold"
Or let them actually search by weight - text or number.

Kerning - does not = spacing (tracking) so lumping spacing and kerning in
together makes no sense.

And why is this dialog so small it requires scrolling?
Whose screen would this entire list not fit on?

Does anyone here actually use this software?

Does anyone here actually talk to real users? 
(that is a rhetorical question)
