You can decide what fonts it uses, instead.

Also, there are substitution tables outside of LibreOffice.  Look up
how to configure Linux font substitution, aliases, and default fonts.

I believe so.  sudo yum search all font

If you want to waste a few hours font browsing, try looking through
here:  https://fonts.google.com/  There's masses to choose from. 
Sometimes you can find exact equivalents.
