[libreoffice-users] LO Writer: Imported font problems

Trying to import Mailchimp content causes font problems for LO Writer. For example,
importing this:
    <span style=3D"=font-family:helvetica neue=2C helvetica=2C arial=2C verdana=2C sans-serif"=>

which (after escaping) reduces to this:
    <span style="font-family:helvetica neue, helvetica, arial, verdana, sans-serif">

shows this in the FONT NAME box:
    "helvetica neue; helvetica; arial; verdana; sans-serif" displayed in a faint italic font which 
indicates that this is not under user control, with this tool tip explanation:
    "FONT NAME: The current font is not available and will be substituted."

There's the rub: The "current font" - that is, the collected fonts spec in the FONT NAME box - 
is/are not available. Yet:
(1) Somehow Writer displays a reasonable facsimile of that fonts spec in the document on-screen. 
How does it do that without access to fonts which it claims not to have?
(2) What does LO mean by "The current font [which is not available] will be substituted"? 
Substituted how? What is the process?
(3) How can one force the FONT NAME box to take one of the fonts from the drop-down list (as it 
does in other circumstances)?
