--- Comment #4 from JohnM <john.d.marsden at gmail.com> ---
I can confirm that I am also experiencing this bug after update supplied by
Ubuntu repositories from 5.4.2-0ubuntu0.17.10.1 to 5.4.5-0ubuntu0.17.10.1.

All ttf, but not otf, fonts in my local (~/....) area disappeared from
LibreOffice.  They remain available in FontManager, GIMP, Inkscape etc. and
show up with fc-list.

The workaround described by David in comment 2 works for me.  Additionally, I
tried softlinking from /usr/shared/fonts/truetype/ to the relevant folders in
my home area.  This did not work.  Nor did softlinking but changing the
ownership of the files to root.  It was necessary to actually "sudo cp" the
files into sub-directories of /usr/shared/fonts/truetype/.

I am using Font Manager to control which of many fonts are made available to
applications.  The "reject" and "directories" lists in
~/.config/fontconfig/conf.d/ generated by Font Manager continue to be followed
but truetype fonts ONLY occurring in folders below my ~/. folder are missing in
LibreOffice.
