Sorry, change that this is a color palette and not a font issue =)

s/cmyk, palette, gallery, web, and scribus fonts/cmyk, gallery, web and scribus
palettes/

For a default ALLUSER installation LibreOffice palettes are found in the
<installDir>/share/palette directory...

The file "extension" for color palettes is .soc, but some others are used by
other components.

 .sob (zip containing .png, "bitmaps")
 .sod (XML, "dashes")
 .soe (XML, "line ends?")
 .sog (XML, "gradients")
 .soh (XML, "hatches")
 .sop (zip containing .png, "patterns")

Users can add their own .soc palettes into their own <user>\config folder and
they will show in the UI for their own use. Or, they can add them to the
share\palettes folder for general use on a shared computer.

Otherwise, the "custom" palette from the GUI is held as "UserColors" stanzas in
the per user profile "registrymodifications.xcu"--both recently used colors and
colors available from the custom palette are recorded to profile.

At the moment only the Area fill dialog will allow you to create the colors
that will show as swatches in the "custom" palette. While the "recent" color
bar swatches will cycle as a stack on use.

Possibly. Suspect at some point you'd done a non-administrator install "Only
for me", and then with the 5.4.7 install for "Anyone who uses this computer".
So you'd had a bad profile for some time--just more noticeable with removal of
some of the palettes (bug 104047, bug 113858).

Creating a new user profile (deleting renaming %APPDATA%\LibreOffice\User\4)
should cleanly resolve this or similar issues.
