It's not unique to LO. I don't have slackware (I use Ubuntu), however I
did find this for slackware:

No. I am asking for the type of the specific font that you cannot
display in LO but can in other applications. Pick _one_ font for
testing, then tell us the exact filename of that font:
$ ls -al <fontnameof>
That way we can help try to figure out if it's opentype, truetype, or
some other font that LO may (or may not) be having issues with.
