Description walt1055 2004-03-23 17:15:25 UTC
OpenOffice.org 1.1.1RC3, also happened in OOo 1.1.0

When I import a Rich Text Format (.rtf) file which was produced by MS Word, and
which specifies a font not in Writer's list of fonts, e.g. "Times New Roman",
there is NO error message, and the characters are rendered as miniscule
(unreadable) dots.

I can send you an example RTF if needed.

Hi,

you have to install the "Times New Roman font" also on your linux system.. then
it will work..

I change this issue from Defect to Enhancement since it would be reasonably
helpful for the Enduser being presented a warning message as you propose.

found no duplicate to this issue, setting to confirmed.

The problem (subminiature dots, no warning) also happens with XML files
containing unknown fonts.

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements".
