Bug Description

I recently designed a logo which used a font that was temporarily installed by another program. When the font was uninstalled and the Inkscape file opened again it would've been good to have an alert about the font not being installed. It's also useful for when files are shared and exchanged to know what fonts are needed

I found this feature very handy.. It would be also good to have an additional tab in document preferences dialog that lists all the fonts declared in a document and indicates missing fonts. Possibility to declare replacement for missing fonts also seems to be a step towards a better usability.

Cheers
