If you have Windows on the same PC you can get Linux to clone it to

If not, try Googling on: calibri download linux
Please do mind that Calibri is a Microsoft proprietary font strictly
connected to a Windows/MS Office license, which cannot be used if you do
not have such a license. This is clearly stated in the Windows/MS Office
EULA. LibreOffice offers a Calibri replacement, Carlito, which has a
free font license and can therefore be downloaded and installed on every
operating system without infringing the license.
Thanks for everyone for the replies. :) I did install the Carlito
font. :) However, I'm still looking for a way to see which
substitute font Writer chose, if that's possible. MS Word appears to
support this, as indicated in this article:
http://wordribbon.tips.net/T012657_Finding_Words_Font_Substitutes.html
Is there a way to determine which font Writer uses as the substitute font?
Thanks!
Peace...

There is a way to define which font substitutes for which fonts.
Tool>Options>LibreOffice>Fonts has a substitute table option to define
the substitutions.
As for which font is automatically used if you do not have a document
font installed, I have not seen where it will show which one is used. I
am told that there is some system that will look for the best font that
is installed, which looks most like the one needed. If you have a free
substitute font, like the one that is "defined" for replacing Calibri
and other proprietary MS fonts.
It is nice to have MS Core fonts available for Linux, but some of the
newer ones are being work on for very similar free version. There are a
lot of online sources for free fonts and lists for which free fonts
looks like which paid/proprietary fonts. I have seen some version
update "notes" stating that LibreOffice has various new fonts being
installed with these new versions. I know that there is a lot of
interest to make sure LO has the best free fonts available to make
viewing/editing MS Office documents with less and less font substitution
issues. For those that LO does not have as part of their install, you
can always find the best free substitute fonts, for Linux and Windows,
from online sources. I have over 100,000 fonts in my font folders, most
specialty fonts though. I found that there are a lot of great fonts out
there that are so similar to paid fonts, that you will not have any
document issues. You just have to look for them. Googling for the
substitute font is really the best way to start your search though.
