I propose we limit the scope of this bug to the most important and basic feature of "warning of font substitutions" including:

  1. Warning the user that font substitutions happened (with a warning dialog and command line warning)
  2. Listing the missing fonts - so the user knows exactly what is needed for a perfect layout
  3. Selecting/highlighting the text objects that have been substituted so the user can examine further

The more advanced feature could be moved to separate feature requests

  a) An interactive font alternative suggestion dialog
  b) Linking to font repositories to try and find missing fonts, etc...

The proposed dialog (in comment #9) is intended to cover the basic features only.
