Its just the link to the first pdf attachment with the screen clips.

No, Liberation Serif is metric equivalent to Times New Roman, while Liberation
Sans is metric equivalent to Arial.  

The issue looks to be in the styles applied to the ODF documents--they were
incomplete and so LibreOFfice defaults get applied.

So, suspect problem predates these builds of LibreOffice and these versions of
the file "reports". 

One more sage with replacing ODF styles would need to comment (Regina?), but
believe issue is that there is no font assignment to the
"Police_20_par_20_défaut" and "Internet_20_link" styles across multiple text
spans in the content, you pick up current LO defaults. 

I think we would probably need even older versions of the files to see what the
original style specified for font. Then in Writer (or other affected module)
use Tools -> Options -> LibreOffice Writer:  Basic Fonts (Western) dialog to
adjust the defaults. Pick a better font (old bitmap fonts like "roman", or
PostScript Type 1 fonts if installed will not show on the list box) that
renders the reports without too much distortion.

Going forward, work up a better Style to apply to the paragraphs of the
reports.
