Additional fonts required

ru flag

When I start LibreOffice, Gnome shows a notification that says:

"Additional fonts required. An application is requesting additional fonts."

I tried all methods to refresh the cache of the fonts directory also deleted the fonts cache directory and refresh it again but not solved. Actually, this makes only a problem in the user interface where the number of pages counts and words counts don't appear in the Writer status bar. so I can't see the words count until I click on its place in the status bar to show me the word count window. I was using LibreOffice 6.3 with the same problem so I decide to upgrade to 7.2 but the problem is still there. I'm using Ubuntu 18.04 with Gnome.

when I try to reinstall Ubuntu-Desktop I get errors:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop

@David Thanks for your comment. the article you are recommended is talking about adding fonts to the LibreOffice for writing propose but my problem is there are fonts missed for the user interface of the LibreOffice.

@David I modified this sentence to make it more clear "this makes only a problem in the user interface where the number of pages counts and words counts don't appear in the Writer status bar"

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
