Strange. For me Libreoffice looks in /usr/share/fonts/TTF (system wide
location for ttf fonts) and uses those (I'm on a Debian based distro).
So, all  I do is copy any .ttf fonts to that directory and they are
ready for use. This might be something set at compilation time or in
your case, it was determined prior to it's pre-compiled package state.
Perhaps find the directory that this specific Libreoffice package
looks for fonts and dump fonts there or symlink to your system wide
fonts directory.

Any Ubuntu folks out there familiar with this package in Ubuntu repos?
