Interesting when you delve into it.
First a recommendation / possibility - The LibreOffice portable from portableapps.com I monitored an installation (only) 14421 files & 25 reg entries, a few of those files are in windows/temp and some log entries. All the rest isolated in the LOportable folder.
In Windows it seems to work ok with Gimp 2.10.2 - this in a Win10 VM screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/0loa01q.jpg
Looking at the font problem. The LOportable contains only one font opens__.ttf
Put that into the Gimp fonts path and fails. Also in Kfontview and Fontforge. https://i.imgur.com/6zKJqGn.jpg (edit: oops no shot from kfontview)
Not surprising since it contains nothing. https://i.imgur.com/XTlLUDr.jpg I suppose the regular LO installer puts this into Windows fonts and breaks Gimp.
I generally use linux and the LO 6.04 appimage. That contains many fonts which are only temporary but includes opens__.ttf looks like this https://i.imgur.com/A5UDiez.jpg So the font is OpenSymbol.
Now my linux kubuntu 16.04 installation already contains one of those and it is in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/openoffice AFAIK openoffice was never installed, must have come with 'buntu. What a maze
