Please attach the document itself, not only screenshots.

Goto Tools > Options > LibreOffice > View. Is OpenGL enabled? If yes, disable it, restart and try again. Does it work now?

I want the document, from which you have made the screenshots. Such document is needed for 3), because it seems to be some special problem with the writing direction or with font replacement, and such document cannot easily be generated in e.g. an English or German environment.

If I open this document that I send you in libreOffice the font breaks down. But if I open this document with openoffice 4.1.5 it works good.
Maybe It will give you some Idea.

Thanks

I do not get the error in Windows but see the error in a virtual machine with Ubuntu. So it is likely a Linux-only problem. I don't know, whether this is really a bug. I forehandedly set it to new. A Linux expert should decide.

The characters in the fontwork have the font "Tahoma". That font is not installed on your machine, and if it were, it would not contain the needed code range "Ethiopic". So LibreOffice requests a font substitute. With that it is able to view the characters in regular text and if in edit mode in the fontwork, but not if in fontwork-rendering.

For to solve the problem for you:
Goto Tools > Options > Language Settings > Languages and enable Complex Text Layout. Restart LibreOffice.
Open the file and double-click the fontwork to go into edit mode.
Press Ctrl-A to select all characters.
From the font drop-down-list in the toolbar select font "Abyssinica SIL", which has the needed code range. Or goto Format > Character > Font and change the font in the "CTL Font" field to "Abyssinica SIL".
