Based upon my reading of "LibreOffice drops Type 1 font support" (in 5.3) http://www.linux-magazine.com/Online/Blogs/Off-the-Beat-Bruce-Byfield-s-Blog... I think if you need to keep using fonts from the xorg-x11-fonts package they will have to be converted to a supported format, or you will need to switch to OO. Actually, in that article you link to, if you read the first comment and follow the instructions apparently from LO, you can switch the text layout engine in use and Bitstream Charter 'magically' comes back. Whether that will cause problems somewhere down the line, I don't know.

It says:

This is the reply: "Hi, you can switch to the old engine in the menu: Tools > Options > Advanced. Then click Open Expert Configuration, search for TextLayoutEngine, and double-click the result � change it to "old", save and restart LibreOffice. That may help!" my Tw version, libreoffice-5.4.0.1, doesn't have "TextLayoutEngine" in the

When you find TestLayoutEngine and click on it you then get a menu on the side with the word "new". Change this to "old", and restart LO. Bitstream Charter is then available.

Forgot to mention that if one is using Breeze Dark in System Settings/Work Space Theme/Look and Feel you won't see TextLayoutEngine when looking for it in in LO -- the cell containing the wording is white (on white). Change form Breeze Dark to, say, Opensuse and the cell in LO magically appears :-) One more thing: use the switch in LO for non-proportional fonts (in Fonts option) as this affects whether or not you see Bitstream Charter.
