I've figured it out - it's because after installing the communitheme and
removing it, I logged into a standard Wayland session rather than the
standard Xorg one, the bug is actually that the fonts are broken in the
snap on a Wayland session
** Summary changed:
- [snap] Fonts seem 'thinner' than they should be
+ [snap] Fonts seem 'thinner' than they should be on Wayland
** Tags added: wayland
** Description changed:
+ Edit: on second thoughts, I think the below seemed to change the
+ situation because it meant I logged into the Ubuntu session instead of
+ the Ubuntu on Xorg session. The bug is simply that fonts look 'thinner'
+ than they should in the LibreOffice snap on Wayland, and it's only the
+ snap that's affected.

After using `sudo add-apt-repository ppa:communitheme/ppa` and adding
the packages there, and then installing `ppa-purge`, removing the
packages, and using `ppa-purge` on the PPA, my fonts in the LibreOffice
snap seemed to break. I've given an example of 'a quick brown fox jumps
over the lazy dog' and a screenshot of a Writer document and its PDF
export in Document Viewer side by side.
