Easiest way to see whether another font contains it is to use Gnome's character
map. Then highlight the diamond operator.

Then cycle through the font-list and watch for changes in the appearance (a
right-click on the character will give you a bigger preview and will state the
font the rendered glyph comes from).

To solve your particular problem, you could try to add the font FreeSerif to the
list of serif fonts known to fontconfig.

To do so, edit/create /etc/fonts/local.conf (using /etc/fonts/fonts.conf as
template) and add Free serif to the alias section defining "serif" fonts.

You can also modify OOo's VCL.xcu (but that should be more problematic since
you'd have to modify it after each update)

I think I'm going to close this one as worksforme, since it is impossible for
OOo to get a suitable font in this case. It would have to test every single font
installed to get one that matches by chance. This would cause a major
performance hit and thus is not doable.

Replacements either need to be defined in OOo itself (in VCL.xcu - done for
well-known fonts, it is impossible to add every font there) or on the
system-level (aliases)

It might as well be that OOo treats this (mathematical) character as
symbol-character (so that the replacement list of symbol fonts is applied, not
the one of the font-style (serif/san-serif) - but that doesn't really matter in
this case since the same reasoning applies: It is impossible to account for
every single font.
