Do you want to apply the Unicode characters: ¼ ½ ?
The Autocorrect function will replace the three characters 1/4, 1/2 by the Unicode characters ¼, ½.
Or you can insert them as Special characters.
Or you can use the Insert - Object - Formula: "1 over 4", "1 over 2". You can anchor the formula to a normal character in your text.

What I am after is that when entering text and meet any fraction I can just type it in. Special characters list only 1/4 1/2 and 3/4. Is there a straightforward way? Tks.

Special characters list only 1/4 1/2 and 3/4Not. There are more fraction characters in a full featured Unicode character set (like the DejaVu, and the Liberation fonts):
And you can use all of the real sub- and supercript numeric characters from the DejaVu character set:
⁰/₁ ¹/₂ ²/₃ ³/₄ ⁴/₅ ⁵/₆ ⁶/₇ ⁷/₈ ⁸/₉ ⁹/₀

If I know exactly, these fonts was installed together with the LibreOffice onto your PC.
(Double click on the TTF file, and then click on "Install" in the font preview minisoftware of the Win7)

They are very similar but not quite the same. The only advantage to LO over AOO seems to be better integration with Word. You can change and, as far as I know, you can install both on the same machine and check out which you prefer,
However I think you misunderstood Tibor. I believe he mean that the fonts should have been downloaded with LibreOffice and probably installed but if you downloaded them yourself then you can install them.
However you do not install the fonts in AOO or LibreOffice. You install them at the operating system level, that is at the Windows 7 level. What fonts you have installed really have nothing to do with LO/AOO as far as I know.
Try googling "windows 7 install font" for instructions
