Re: [libreoffice-users] "font is not available and will be substituted"

Yes, the document stated "Garamond" but which version of Garamond was 
it?  I have seen several different "companies" offering their own 
version of Garamond, calling it be that name or a different name 
altogether.  It seems to be a very popular font to copy and make "their 
own".

If I remember correct, MS had a version in one of their OSs, or Office 
packages.  You do not need to buy it, since there are free 
alternatives.  There are a number of free font sites out on the Web, so 
you should be able to find one with a font that has the "Garamond" name 
in it/them.

I have many fonts with that name as part of the font name.  I also bet 
if you Google for free substitutes for Garamond, you should find something

These might work

This was from a short searching of the Web.

If these do not work for you, let me know - OFF LIST - and I will try to 
help you find more options.
