[Libreoffice-ux-advise] [Bug 92657] Questionable Default for Bullet Sizing

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92657

--- Comment #12 from Frank <foberle@enteract.com> ---
The substitution of fonts even when the font in use has the necessary
characters is actually a separate, larger problem, so don't confuse the two.

LibreOffice seems to use OS services to layout text and those seem to do the
actual substitution in many cases. These services in turn rely on what the font
file reports as the characters it contains and what it can do with them.

To simplify even further - if the font files themselves are faulty (and this
occurs more than you might think), trouble arises.

A few of us had a recent discussion about this on the Doc Foundation forum.
See:

But there is still a real issue with the bullet substitutions, which appears to
be a separate and unrelated bug, although it doesn't seem impossible that the
two might meet up someday to breed and then attack us all one day...
