--- Comment #10 from Heiko Tietze <tietze.heiko at gmail.com> ---
We discussed the topic in the design meeting. Solutions could be 

a) use icons with subtle decorations (eg. a small star at the edge when bold
not included) with drawback at customization
b) add some kind of identification to the icon, eg. a frame
c) just have a tooltip "this weight is calculated"
   + icon decoration and tooltip dont work with menus (Format > Text > Bold or
Style [F11] > Emphasis)
d) show an infobar when the file is loaded and fonts are included that neeed
math
  + for drawback see comment 9

I'd prefer d) as we need such a solution for missing fonts (eg. "The document
font Helvetica was replaced by Nimbus Sans [Review]"). It could be something
like "The document font "LCD" doesn't contain bold and italic variants [More
info]".

This change could be included in a bigger revamp of font substitution. See
mockups at the respective tickets.
