Just to clarify, you don't have "Bitstream Charter", but do you have Bitstream Vera?
The former is bitmaps, the second is scalable. It is possible that LO does not use by default bitmapped fonts. There may be a switch for it.
The 5.3 version's Harfbuzz font shaping engine dropped support for Type1 fonts, thus apparently 5.3 no longer supports fonts from the two xorg-x11-font* packages, unless it is switched to the "old" engine in TextLayoutEngine settings.
I have both available to the system but the latest LO sees neither.
Why would anyone care about Vera any more? DejaVu has for a long time been a well supported superset of Vera installed by default in openSUSE.
I mentioned Bitstream Vera because judging by the name it may be similar. I have no idea of what fonts replace which. I have an awful number of fonts installed, and I can't reduce the number. They come with texlive, apparently. I wish LO had a way of removing fonts from the list. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
