Use Current font - when pasting

We need a setting to avoid copying in unwanted text fonts which just lead to unnecessary "Missing font" error messages (which still do NOT appear in the Optimise the Website list despite being reported - this is long overdue).
Setting:
Use default font when copying and pasting
Use current font when copying and pasting
Use source font when copying and pasting
Thanks

I suggest you always copy to notepad++ and then copy and paste into X5.
This will do exactly what you ask for.

Perhaps I have not understood but, since ALWAYS in ALL text editor software for Windows if instead of doing
CTRL + V
you do
CTRL + SHIFT + V
corresponds to PAST WITHOUT FORMATTING
Using fonts from Web or Word formatted text is highly inadvisable, as it can lead to unwanted and difficult to understand problems.
So better NO to the option: Use source font when copying and pasting

I agree, Claudio - but what I am saying is that it should be a setting in the system.
Every time I have to Ctrl/Shift/V it wastes time. And the bug of the external fonts has still not been fixed three years or so after I first reported it. That does not help at all because then I have no idea where the problem is.
If an external font is somewhere in the system, add a list of locations to the Optimise report.
For my sins, I run four companies, I do the web sites for three of them. I do not have a minute to spare. I am on call 24x7/365 for my banking software. I need speed. Proper setting with defaults allow this and should be in Website X5 after all of these years.

By the way, my current project - a Help system and sitemap - is over 80 pages. Some of those pages are very large because they have to be. I could not do this quickly (I am on a Friday deadline to get it to a customer) if I did not use WSX5. But WSX5 needs bugs fixed. We are all busy and do not have the time for workarounds...
Are you kidding?
If there was one option to choose out of three, as you say it would be a waste of time in my opinion
Pressing CTRL + V or CTRL + shift + V takes the same amount of time !
And the bug of the external fonts has still not been fixed three years or so after I first reported it. That does not help at all because then I have no idea where the problem is.
Perhaps I have not explained myself.
It is not a BUG, it is like that in all software...
it is highly inadvisable to paste formatted text from web or word processing programmes into any software...
you carry around sometimes invisible characters that cause the strangest problems.
Because of the way fonts are handled on the web and in order for them to be 'seen' correctly on all devices, it is not technically possible to accept a formatted text with its own fonts and have it work perfectly on the web.
If an external font is somewhere in the system, add a list of locations to the Optimise report.
Yes, you are absolutely right about that.
The analysis/optimisation of the project should point out these irregularities, but unfortunately it does not...
this is a BUG
