Bug Description
It's great to have font substitution, however it should not be completely
silent/automatic.
When I load an SVG into 0.45 and I'm missing a font, I don't see anything
indicating that a font was missing and which one was substituted.
I only noticed because some of the artwork was stuffed up and the font
curves looked different from what they were supposed to be.
It'd be good to get a dialog indicating which font is missing, and a list
of alternative fonts/actions to undertake.
It could even link to a number of (free) font sites online to try and pick
up the missing font, for instance.
In any case, the complete automated silence is what got me. That's just
dangerous.

Changing to wishlist. Again comparing with old outdated Corel Draw 5 - if a font is missing, it suggest an alternative.
