Hi :) Did you manage to find a work-around for this problem in the end or is it still a problem? I can't think of anything to help but i just wondered how it was going. Regards from Tom :)

I have since followed a routine that was suggested: 1) do regular system maintenance and disk verification, 2) clean the font cache for the entire system, 3) validate the fonts loaded, and remove any fonts showing an error in that process, 4) reset the system fonts, which cleans out any non-standard typesets currently not used by Lion (the odd ones are dumped into a "deleted fonts" folder for later deletion or addition into the users font folder, which is separate from the system's), 5) delete the trash if fonts deleted. According to a Microsoft Office user, this procedure was the answer. However, I still had disappearing text in some text boxes when I reopened LibreOffice. Perplexed still… Hope this helps any other posters who may have an answer, or suffer this issue.
