Clipboard doesn't detect the different two fonts, and even replaces the text.

When copying a text from a .txt file on Google Drive, the Clipboard doesn't show that the font is different.
It even replaces the same text in the other font, as the attached video shows.

It should display the text in their proper fonts in the clipboard, there should also be a tooltip/infotip showing the name of the font if the cursor is over it.

Klipper is a clipboard manager, not a font manager. Rich text are potentially dangerous and can compromise your system especially when the copied content can be anything.
