I did not see "tuffy" in the font list within LibreOffice till I looked

my ".font" folder and also in the "usr/share/. . ." folder. Most of the
".font" folder fonts are not in the "usr/share/ . ." list.
I've never used ~/.font/; all the fonts installed on the system are in
/usr/share/fonts/ subdirectories. All in one place.
Now I need the 5.1.4 tarball to re-install that version.

Rich,
I don't know where you got your Slackware package to install or if you
created it yourself, as I do. Or you installed the RPM directly. I use
SlackBuilds.org for my Slack packages. Here is S14.1 LO 5.1.4:
https://www.slackbuilds.org/result/?search=libreoffice&sv=14.1
There is a link to the LO website where you can download 5.1.4. Alas, it
is no longer available or broken. I did some drilling work for you and
here is 5.1.6 on a mirror site, which is supposed to be the stable version:
http://ftp.ussg.indiana.edu/tdf/libreoffice/stable/5.1.6/rpm/x86/
Another point is that I was told that the most stable LO is x.x.6+.
Since 5.3 is not there yet, I will wait until 5.3.6 is released or try
5.2.6. I am currently running LO 5.1.6.2 on My Slackware 14.2 system.
Like you, it runs fine.
I also am confused as to why you seem to have lost fonts in
/usr/share/fonts. You are not running LO as root are you? That path
and all the files in there should only have root write permissions.
Running LO as a user should not remove fonts from that directory. I
have not looked at 5.3 yet, so I do not know what the distribution
package would overwrite when installed as root. I always look at the
package innards before I install it to see if there are any nasties in
there which could cause problems. I have been burned in the past by
packages that do nasty things. I just looked at my LO 5.1.6.2 Slackware
package that I created and there is no /usr/share/fonts directory, so it
could not overwrite anything when installed.
Alas, reinstalling LO 5.1.4 will probably not restore your missing
fonts. Good luck.
HTH.
