We just installed it via "yum install libreoffice" and are on the version 7.1.8.1 10.
We also installed the latest one from libreoffice.org website too, according to these instructions:

We followed all those font instructions as well before, over and over, but still, no luck.
We had to use embedFont() function to add basic fonts like Arial, Times New Roman, Verdana, etc to get this working... but we shouldn't have to do this, right? Shouldn't those basic fonts be available right off the bat without embedding them into our documents?
