There used to be a plugin for OO which identified all missing fonts for
a document.  Perhaps it was never ported to LO.

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?

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?
