Thank you for your feedback Christian.
I have this with a brand new LO profile and with just the blank new doc 
after having fired up Writer and no specific font selected (so 
Liberation Serif). Also, it's French UI by default (I suppose LO detects 
the UI language of the system when generating the LO profile).
So I wonder what text triggers this.
