Opening a PDF whose fonts aren't installed keeps the text live in the fallback font (as
Illustrator substitutes and highlights missing fonts), and opening said so, but every export
then wrote the fallback font silently ("warnings": []), so a headless convert re-set the type
without a word.
- Exports that draw type now say so in their warnings, naming the missing families and the
fallback font: PDF (outlined or real text, also .ai and Save As), EPS, EMF/WMF, raster images
and SVG with outlined or embedded fonts. Live SVG text, DXF, text and native files name the
font itself and don't warn. Replacing the font (Find Font) clears it.
- The fonts a document uses (text.fonts' scope, Package's font list) come from one helper.
- textAs: outlines already keeps the glyphs the PDF draws (its embedded font program, installed
or not): now covered by a test with an embedded serif font that isn't installed, checked
against the installed font's and the fallback's outlines.
- docs/mcp.md and ROADMAP describe the warning.
