RE: [libreoffice-users] RE: [Libreoffice] Word doesn't see symbols - Substituting Fonts

The Tools | Fonts option is not related to any documents that happen to be open.  It is generic.  
So it is not going to know about "missing" fonts.

In my copy of 3.3.2, I found that I needed to check the box that says "Apply replacement table." 

Although there are pull-downs that then list all of the installed fonts, I found that I could make 
up a font name for the Font entry and indicate that it be replaced by Calibri (which I already have 
installed).

When I clicked the check box for the "dialed-in" replacement, I was then able to check Always and 
then select OK.

The table now has the one row in it and it persists when I close LibreOffice and open it again.

Does this not work on your system?

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?
