I don't like that. First, how are you going to display the warning? 
Remember fpReport was designed to be able to run from console or 
headless servers too, not just desktop apps. Secondly, how are you going 
to substitute the font? Which font will you choose, and how will you 
make that choice? Using equivalent font metrics values, simply by name, 
some random standard font that might make your report look crap? My 
personal opinion - I like to see a report the way I designed it or not 
at all (until I fixed what was missing or broken).
