Make sure that you have a suitable Tibetan font installed.

Under Language settings, Language, make sure that Complex text layout is ticked, and that one of the Tibetan language flavours is selected:

Once this is configure (hit Apply!), a new option is available at `LibreOfficeWriter, Basic Fonts (CTL). Here select a Tibetan font that is actually installed (e.g. from Tibetan fonts):
