Bug#461499: No information about missing fonts and possible errors in display andor printing

[Matthias Bode]

Hello,

no evince does not tell if fonts are found or not. In the fonts dialog
in preferences is only listed, which fonts are use in the document, type
of fonts and if they are embedded or not.

Missing fonts are not displayed in this dialog.
