This is definitively a font issue.

The problem happens on a fresh installation of Kubuntu 20.10.

There "Calibri" is substituted with "Noto Sans", according to "fc-match"

Installing the package "fonts-crosextra-carlito" fixes the issue.

I think LibreOffice should:

1. Issue a warning, either (i) the font is not present and will be substituted
or (ii) the font is not present, will be substituted but the substitution is
dangerous (such as in this case, perhaps maintaining a list of "dangerous"
substitutions)

2. It would be great if LibreOffice offer the user to download automatically a
better font for the substitution (perhaps maintaining its own repository of
open-source font). This is what Wine does, which offer the user to download a
Gecko version and a Mono version

Either way I think a solution should be provided. It took me days to track this
down to font issue, I don't think an average user should be required to do that
(and he/she will probably not but just uninstall LibreOffice thinking it is
bugged)
