Looks like this is the culprit: 
https://github.com/vladgolubev/serverless-libreoffice/blob/7927017e96531b042b70f0de24be40fd88b44b63/Dockerfile#L110

--without-fonts         LibreOffice includes some third-party fonts to 
provide a reliable basis for help content, templates, samples, etc. When 
these fonts are already known to be available on the system then you 
should use this option.

Obviously done to save disk space.

So drop that option from the Dockerfile.
