Good evening Buovjaga,

Download and de-compress worked fine.  Tool to delete old fonts and install new
ones kept hanging, requiring multiple kills and re-starts.  But I think the
replacement worked.

I tested...  I
1. launched Impress on my slide with many text boxes and graphic objects;
2. selected everything; and
3. changed the font to the new nimbus roman "NimbusRomNo9L".
The text remains shifted upward relative to where it originally was and
relative to graphic objects.  I next
4. selected one text box in a way that made its border visible.
The text appears shifted up within the border, almost to the top border.  I
launched the pre-problem screen capture of this slide, and made sure both that
image and the current Impress session were showing the slide at the same size
and zoom.  Checking several graphic objects, I can confidently say that
* the graphic objects have not shifted;
* the text boxes themselves (the borders) have not shifted.
Then I
1. again selected everything; and
2. changed the font to Liberation Sans (the default).
The text still appears shifted vertically up relative to text box borders and
graphic objects.  Last year, did something change regarding the positioning of
text within text boxes?

It seems to me that the font is not the problem.  It sure was a good guess. 
But I now accept neither that this bug is "RESOLVED", nor that this is
"NOTABUG".

Based on my past experience as a programmer and as a software team lead, I
assume it is not my place to change this bug's status at this point in its life
cycle.  So I'm leaving those settings alone.  Let me know if I should change
the status, and I will do so.

I am willing to help with this as I reasonably can, for example by testing and
trying things, or send you screen captures or LibreOffice files.  But I am
limited.  I cannot go back to previous releases/patches, or go ahead of what's
in the Fedora repositories.  By the way, I patched this system this afternoon,
before doing any of the testing reported above.

Thank-you for your attention, time, and effort.
Bill.
