Hi,

The implementation should ask the user before downloading; 
possibly to make sure the user is connected to the internet. 
And why not give the user choice which fonts to download, 
you could then uncheck this bizarre Burmese font you're sure 
has nothing to do with the document content ;-)

Actually I'd say that some kind of a mechanism to detect 
accidental/residual styles and/or formatting could be useful 
(smaller filesize? only saving used styles in a document?) - 
but would IMHO be another separate issue.

Explanation: I do occasionally prepare documents for 
printing; typesetting and layout via Scribus et al.
When importing documents (ODT) which have travelled through 
many machines/OS/LibreOffice/Word there often is a serious 
build-up of styles, fonts and other 'junk'. A lot of time 
may be necessary to map all those to something useful, just 
to find out that the document really is supposed to use only 
a couple of fonts in 3-5 styles.

Counting the number of used styles and fonts would be nice 
to have somewhere, some power users may appreciate.

Just thoughts,
