thanks so much for your answers. i ment that does libreoffice install the require fonts by default? and i use windows, without installing any extra fonts, is it possible to read and write persian and arabic documents? when in two years ago i used microsoft office, i did not install any fonts and microsoft office recognized my documents. for this reason, i asked about libreoffice. does libreoffice recognize persian and arabic characters immediately after finishing its installation?
