--- Comment #5 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
The install log shows most of the fonts were already present in
C:\Windows\Fonts with installer action of either "Overwrite" or "Won't
Overwrite" depending on version check with some "To be Installed". Followed by
install operations for all, and then FontRegister operations.

That all is normal and looks complete. You should have all LibreOffice project
provided fonts available for use with any Windows program including
LibreOffice.

Beyond that, absent the verbose log for the initial install, when yes the fonts
could have been Unregsitered/Uninstalled, there is nothing actionable. So ->
WORKSFORME

But, two take aways--LibreOffice will honor RefCount process (if other programs
have registered use of a font it won't unregister/delete it) but also that
LibreOffice install package will update fonts based on version/build meta data
checks. Date

For this and to correctly install/register fonts on Windows the installer needs
to be run as Administrator.
