Look for files in gallery subdirectory in user directory (see answer below).

These files are some binary format unknown to libmagic. It seems that sdv file 
contains metadata (gallery name etc.) while thm file contains thumbnails (to 
display in LO). There is also sdg file which purpose is unknown to me.

I have made simple test that showed, that LO stores only information about file 
in filesystem hierarchy, not file content itself. Unless there is way to change 
that (which I don't know), your task to provide unified galleries for users 
will be very challenging.

LibreOffice stores information in user directory. You will find it in:

- Windows: %APPDATA%\LibreOffice\3\user\
- Linux: ~/.config/libreoffice/3/user/ (note: for LO 3.4.x and earlier it was
  ~/.libreoffice/3/user/)
- Mac OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/libreoffice/3/user/

I have "fonts" directory in /usr/lib/libreoffice/share/ (which is something like 
global user directory). Perhaps you can simply create "fonts" dir in user 
directory and drop font files there.
But I have not checked. I prefer to put font files into ~/.fonts/, where they 
are accessible for all programs (but not all users).
