Current Windows versions (Windows as in the operating system, not LO
for Windows) comes with the Calibri font, so on WIndows LibreOffice
displays the document with the font that is actually requested in the
document. But The font doesn't exist on your Linux installation, so
LibreOffice needs to use a different font, and that happens to be
DejaVu in your case.
