--- Comment #2 from Alex Thurgood <iplaw67 at tuta.io> ---
@Hal : I had to add a WPD extension to the file in order for it to be loaded by
LO.

Indeed, the first line is shown in the UI as Times New Roman, instead of
Verdana, and the 2nd line is also TNR (although displayed differently).
The third line is indicated as Arial.

I'm guessing that there is some kind of font substitution going on here; but
given that the fonts in use in macOS8 were probably not OTF, and given that
even macOS has undergone font management changes since then, it isn't going to
be surprising that current LO attempts to substitute the fonts with something
else when it loads the file, unless this document was displayed correctly in an
earlier version of LO, which would be a regression.

Confirming - yet another font display bug on macOS.
