Welcome to LQ.

Open LibreOffice Writer > Tools > Options > Language Settings > Languages > Default Language for Documents > Put “X” in the box next to Complex Text Layout > select Burmese > click on OK.

You've installed the font and told the word processor that you will be using it, but you haven't set up the input. You need to tell the GUI that you want to use two keyboard layouts and to tell it which one you want.

Go to the menu and choose Setup - Mouse/keyboard Wizard.
Click on Advanced and Layouts to add Burmese.
Click on Options and
> select GroupShift. That sets the key to toggle the keyboard drivers: scroll lock is a good choice.
> select Keyboard LED. That enables you to select the scroll-lock light to show when you've switched to Burmese.
> Compose key. That's useful thing to set while you're there (see Wikipedia) and Menu (the thing between right Windows and right Control) is a convenient choice.
