Which is true, though not permanently, which is why the font is still
in use.

No, that is not the problem here. The text is in an envelope, so you
cannot edit it. When you select the envelope object you cannot see the
font applied to the enclosed text.
You happened to see Homertone.Medium, but not because the font was
substituted but because that happened to be your currently selected
font and this is what is displayed when your selection is something
that is not a text object (an ellipse, for instance).
You always see the original font name even when the font is not
available and therefore substituted for display.
