Comment (by Tatsh):

 Rather than try to debug each font one by one, I would try families. So
 try disabling jsMath fonts only and see if LibreOffice Starts. Then try
 SourceCodePro+Powerline+Awesome+Regular.ttf, DejaVuMathTeXGyre.ttf, 方正黑
 体简体.TTF (source of this one?), etc.

 A lot of these TTFs are probably only tested on Windows, especially ones
 like 'arial unicode ms.ttf' and Sim* fonts. Sometimes fonts are definitely
 buggy (or very ugly) when placed outside of their normal operating
 environment, despite TTF being a standard.

 I feel that Iosevka is probably fine as I use it and it works here with
 LibreOffice. That team seems to be very cautious about their distribution
 and would be very responsive if it were the cause of a crash through no
 fault of LibreOffice's.
