2. INTERCHANGING DOCUMENTS WITH FONT DEPENDENCIES

When fonts use essentially the same code points for the same characters, but with differences in 
font-face design, there are techniques to substitute a close kindred font when the specific font is 
not available to the consumer of a document.  This might create problems with metrics, but there 
are many fonts that substitute well enough.   Systems may provide automatic substitutions for fonts 
that are not installed.  Products also have ways to let users direct the substitutions.

Example:  In LibreOffice, the Tools | Options | LibreOffice | Fonts dialog provides for 
substitutions.  The Help topic indicates the range of capabilties.
The LO fonts dialogue referenced above does not show missing fonts and allow substitution (not in 3.3.2). If I open a document with Calibri (not on my system) and go to Tools | Options | LibreOffice | Fonts I cannot see the missing font Calibri or select it in the list of fonts to substitute.

Is this a bug or intended functionality?
