Hum, interesting. I had a custom ~/.fonts.conf which was a symlink to 
the actual configuration file in a Git repository checkout somewhere else.

Removing the symlink and/or transforming the symlink into an actual 
hardlink or a "real" file makes Libreoffice work.

However, having this file as a hardlink or a real file crashes some 
other applications, although they were fine with the symlink variant.

I ended up removing ~/.fonts.conf in the meanwhile which seems to 
satisfy most applications.

Thanks for the suggestion and sorry for the noise.
