Where's my main font?

I just recently installed LibreOffice on my computer tower, and the one font that I use the most, Century Schoolbook, is missing. What happened? Where did it go? How do I get it back because the application I have on my laptop currently has Century Schoolbook?

As you wrote

and

I assume you talk of 2 different computers.
Therefore your questions

I’d answer with “Nothing happened. Your font did go nowhere and should still rest on your laptop.”
.
Libre Office uses the fonts installed on your computer. (It may bring a sellection itself. But, if you have a licence (if I’m remembering right Century Schoolbook was not free) you are responsible to instal l fonts you have on your laptop also on your new tower.

There is no “copy all fonts I used on other computer magically” availabe. Neither in Office suites, nor in any OS I know of.
.
If you have old Type-1 fonts: The format was deprecsted by adobe and is removed step by step from software. You have to convert them yourself.

It might be a good time to consider using open source or public domain fonts to avoid licensing issues. A good source is Google Fonts.
Libre Baskerville is reasonably similar to Century Schoolbook but there are many fonts there if you want particular features.

I recommend the GUST project. See e-foundry: what's this? — GUST Web Presence
