Actually, before you do that, we really do need to understand the cause of the
formatting changes. It probably is a font replacement issue gone awry (either a
PS Type 1 or a bitmap font), but that has already happened in the two example
files you'd posted.

We won't be able to do much for dropping those fonts--but there may be a chance
to manage the filter import font assignment to the resulting styles for the
documents.

To do that we need a couple of your older documents, hence the NEEDINFO. If you
have some reports from several years ago. You can open a document archive, it
is just a zip file, in a Zip utility and look at the the "meta.xml" file to
identify what version of LibreOffice or OpenOffice had created the ODF
document. 

p.s. in a bit of irony, the scrolling issues in Calc were also a DirectWrite
font handling issue that has been fixed in more recent releases (5.3.7 or 5.4.3
w/default GDI rendering bug 112486, or 5.4.4 for OpenGL rendering bug 113347).
