Tex2002ans <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |Tex2002ans+LibreOffice@gmai | |l.com --- Comment #31 from Tex2002ans <[email protected]> --- Yes, I agree with solutions 1 and 2 in Comment #12. For example, a Unicode character like: - ⚠ = U+26A0 = WARNING SIGN - - - So, let's say you open a document with a missing font. The font dropdown would now show: - ⚠ Times New Roman where: - The symbol is added right before missing name. - (The font name is still in italics too.) (So it's exactly like the way it is now, just the 1 character added in front! Hopefully making it more visible or show "something is wrong" here!) - - - - - - - - USER STORY I stumbled across this a few days ago when: - Someone I know said their "document was broken". --- It was labels/addresses they printed years ago. --- They haven't touched the ODT files in a while, and have gotten a new computer since. - I lead them through transferring all old fonts from their old OS to their new OS. Then: - THEM: "LibreOffice is still broken. Word is broken too." - ME: "What's the exact issue?" - THEM: "The document doesn't look like it did a few years ago." - ME: "Click on the problem line. Look at the font dropdown. What does it say? Is the name in italics?" --- This "italics" is completely hidden, "secret knowledge" that no normal user would ever know. - THEM: "It says [NameOfCursiveFontHere]." - ME: [Looks up font name online.] --- I link them to it. - ME: "Is this the font?" - THEM: "Yep!" --- Me (Thinking): You didn't have the font installed... So you must've not had it installed on your old OS too... Anyway, more visible, but still simple—like "⚠ Name Of Cursive Font"—might make the common user notice... then might even be able to: - Point that out at Step 1 instead. - Debug it themselves. --- "Oh yes, silly me. Let me go look up that font name." An optional yellow/red "warning" background would just be extra icing on top... but the ⚠ would be a step in the right direction. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
