Here is a document is something I made in 2006 from various sources 
about look-alike font.  This is a manual version to help deal with fonts 
and what ones work.  It was created to deal with web pages and dealing 
with installed fonts on the computer and CSS name lists so the page will 
display properly.  It may no help with what LO will use as a substitute, 
but it might be a good reference for some people.
