[Solved] Libreoffice-fresh 6.3.1-1 does not print text nor export text

I have libreoffice-fresh installed.
Version: 6.3.1.2
Build ID: 6.3.1-1
CPU threads: 2; OS: Linux 5.3; UI render: default; VCL: qt5;
Locale: es-AR (es_AR.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US
Calc: threaded
DE: LXQt

Trying to print from LO Calc, Writer, Draw: LO doesn't print TEXTS, but images (raster, vector), and other graphical objects (lines, grids, underlines, etc.) are printed without issues.
Same issue trying to export all kind of documents (.ods, .odt, .svg) to .pdf using LO Export as PDF, or Print as PDF, or Virtual_PDF_Printer (CUPS_PDF): texts aren't exported, but graphical objects yes.

All other text processing applications installed on my system (Featherpad, Geany, ReText) work fine, printing, exporting to .pdf or via cups-pdf.
I've downgraded LO to 6.30-2 and 6.3.0-1 previous versions, without success.
I've reinstalled hplip and hplip-plugin, deleted and reinstalled my HP printer via hp-setup without success, again.

I think there is a LO issue, but I cann't find where is the problem...
Any thought on this?
Your answers will be appreciated.

Best regards,
DanielH

[SOLVED]

Absolutely weird:
Reinstalling  libreoffice-fresh: issue continues (not printing text nor exporting text to .pdf).
Renaming ~/.config/libreoffice/ as ~/.config/libreoffice-bak and relaunching LO to automatically regenerate ~/.config/libreoffice/ files:  issue continues.
Launching localc or lowriter from command line: no errors appears, issue continues.
Launching libreoffice --safe-mode from command line: no errors appears, issue continues.
No recent changes nor upgrade in fonts, other configurations, colors, etc.

In my other machine (Samsung N150, Atom N450, 2GB Ram) with Arch Linux and LXQt (identical system as my main machine): LO works fine, no issues.

General upgrade today in my main machine: # pacman -Syu
Launching LO:  issue continues.

After some time running my system (idle, I'm working on my other machine): issue now have disappear!!!
Sorcery? Dark magic? I don't know what I must think...   :mad

Finally: All's Well That Ends Well.
Thanks for your attention.
Best regards, DanielH.

Re: [Solved] Libreoffice-fresh 6.3.1-1 does not print text nor export text

That's very odd. I just tested it with the same version and at least export to pdf and printing as pdf is working fine in writer.
Just a wild guess, but have you tried another font? Did any fonts upgrade recently?

Have you tried another color? Could you run writer from the command line and see if any errors are logged?
