There is.  But when fonts are not embedded into the original MSO/OOXML document
(oversight, or lack of licensing) it is incumbent on the user to change the
font to appropriate alternative that is available on their system.  Lack of
Winding fontfamily on non-MS Windows systems is NOT a LibreOffice
responsibility. 

LibreOffice deploys the FOSS OpenSymbol work alike which can reliably
substitute for unavailable MS Winding and Symbol fonts. 

In LibreOffice, from Tools -> Options -> Fonts in the Replacement Table panel
create replacements for MS fonts.  Enter Symbols, Windings, Windings2 and
Windings3 (the left column: Font) with OpenSymbol (the right column: Replace
with).  Each requires an entry and check button action to add each substitution
table, and then check the "Apply replacement table", and OK to complete the
dialog. The Winding and Symbols glyphs will be replaced by their OpenSymbol
equivalents.

Alternatively, and in this specific case--most of the foundries installed with
LibreOffice actually provide a comparable text arrow glyph (U+2192) as used in
the slide.

Fortunately, adjusting them one-off is simple and done by selecting the
incorrect glyph place holder and picking a suitable substitute font from
available foundries visually displayed in the Special Character dialog--the
capital Omega button.

Believe any of these fonts provide comparable appearance to the MS Wingdings
arrow.
