On the contrary. The more an issue has impatient users complaining about it,
the more attention it will get and the more likely - typically - it is to get
fixed. And I'm not talking about Bugzilla: There's Reddit, there's the LO
channels on IRC/Telegram/Matrix, there is the LibreOffice conference which has
a lightning talks round people can submit something to, there are the (ugh)
Google Summer of Code projects one can propose, etc.

I don't believe Linux itself even knows about "fonts". Do you mean the
fontconfig mechanism that's popular in GNU/Linux OS distributions?

That's off-topic for this bug I believe, but if that might merit a separate bug
if it affects LibreOffice.
