Curiouser And Curiouser

I downloaded LibreOffice for Win7.

The odt opens fine in it.

I think that SoftwareJanitor is onto something about the fonts.

I'll keep pecking at it!

    Sweet!

    Now that it's opening and looking fine, save another copy to do your font testing with.

    I like to do my modifications of fonts and formatting with a "working" copy of a file, rather than a "master" copy in case I really bork it up unrecoverably. Which I have done before...

    Try downloading and installing the MS Core Fonts package. https://itsfoss.com/install-microsoft-fonts-ubuntu/

    If that doesn't do it, the Mac fonts package described here may help... https://www.securitronlinux.com/debian-testing/install-mac-osx-fonts-on-linux-easily/

    I had used Open Office for a couple of years but summer 2022 it started giving me big problems. I switched to LibreOffice and those problems went away.
    I've read that it is updated more than Open Office.
