Unless, you choose an open type font (.otf) and select the option in LibreOffice to embed the font in your document. Or at best, in Windows / Mac will be displayed with a different font potentially affecting the layout, length of the document, and look of the words in your document.
If I use Ubuntu/LibreOffice bundled fonts, they will not be viewable on Windows / Mac operating systems. They are available for free on any operating system, but do not come with Mac or Windows operating systems. 
Ubuntu / Debian / Linux Mint only comes with licence-free fonts installed by default. Windows Microsoft Word software use the proprietary True Type Fonts (.ttf) that are commonly included in Windows operating systems (but aren’t included on Mac / Linux operating systems). Apple has a different proprietary set of fonts and for the same reason as Microsoft: to ensure the look and feel of their operating system and all the software that is installed on it is unique. Windows font files are proprietary files included in windows operating systems that they won’t share with other operating systems without a licencing fee. Each operating system comes with a different set of default fonts. I didn’t see this issue discussed in the Libre Office/Linux forums, so I wanted to save other people time by posting this information here. I noticed a complex problem of document cross-platform portability affecting the look, feel, and potentially the layout of a word document (.DOC extension). 
I have switched to Linux / Ubuntu / Debian (Linux mint) LibreOffice from Windows Microsoft Word for editing my Resume.
