I have a large collection of free fonts I wish to add only to
LibreOffice not to the entire Leap 15.2 system. How do I do that.

That's probably not possible (unless you edit the source code of
LibreOffice and compile and install it manually).
The only way I could find is if you use LibreOffice Portable.
Well, another way would of course be if you install an operating system in
a virtual machine and then install LibreOffice and the fonts there. Then
you'll only have those fonts in that virtual machine.

Hi Dan, what is your reason for not adding to your Leap 15.2.
I have a folder of fonts I have collected and generally add to my user fonts (rather than system wide).

Oh, I didn't think of that… If adding fonts to the user's font directory,
those fonts will be visible for all application for that user, BUT I guess
one way to solve the problem could be to create a new user for working with
LibreOffice only and put all those specific fonts in that user's font
directory. Then you only have to switch user every time you want to use
LibreOffice or when you are finished using it.
