LibreOffice really needs to bundle the fonts from the t1-cyrillic debian package with it. Yes, the Liberation font family has the U.N. behind it, but the "free" font family found in the t1 package, especially Free Times, is some of the easiest reading and best looking free fonts out there. I've published several books using Free Times.
