What is the locations of the fonts that LibreOffice uses and how do install new and different fonts for the program to use?
Usually, fonts are manages by system tools like fontconfig. Thus, LibreOffice relies on those system tools in matters of which fonts are available. Just use your preferred package manager to add fonts from the ubuntu repositories, there should be a lot of TTF and other fonts available.
You can also install fonts manually, but that's not a LibreOffice issue but a Ubuntu-related question. If you encounter problems installing fonts, Q&A sites like askubuntu may be the better choice to ask.

;-) - but honestly: as currently almost none of the active users have sufficient karma to edit a wiki answer, it doesn't make sense to set a question or answer as wiki - in contrary, with a lot of wiki answers, no one will receive enough karma to edit them. It would be "self-defeating" to do so...

This seems to be true for TrueType fonts but LibreOffice 3.6 is ignoring Type 1 fonts that are correctly installed with fontconfig and visible/correctly rendered by other applications.
LibreOffice is made available by volunteers around the globe, backed by a charitable Foundation. Please support our efforts: Your donation helps us to deliver a better product!
