Some Fonts don't appear in LibreOffice

.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty margin-bottom:0;

I installed some fonts (mingliu.ttc) by putting them in ~/.fonts/

The font is visible in other applications (such as Abiword & Firefox).

But it does not appear in the font menu of LibreOffice.
When I type the font name manually, the characters display as squares.

How can I install the font for LibreOffice?

That's weird. I just tried with the same font (mingliu.ttc) and it worked fine in LibreOffice on Ubuntu 10.10.

There might be a problem with your font cache.

Try running sudo fc-cache -f -v. This will rebuild the cache.

  If you use the "Quick Start" feature (the LibreOffice's tray icon), you should exit from there (right click on the icon -> Terminate QuickStart) after closing all open documents, and then rebuild the cache, otherwise LibreOffice won't update its internal cache and you won't see the new fonts.

I had similar font problems with LibreOffice Version 4.4.2.2 and lubuntu 15.04. I checked the permission of the font files in /usr/share/fonts/ folder, changed the permission from 600 to 744, and used the terminal command "sudo fc-cache -fv". It solved my problems, therefore, ownership of the font can be a cause of the problem.
