Hello
Some DIL14 chips are bigger at the ends that the outline in DIL macro in PCB. It occured to me with plain DIL14 chips (gates & MSI). The shorter edges are the source of the problem - the longer can't.
What is correct solution? To make a new element, to fix the old element (DIL macro) or to say that the mistake was made by manufacturer of the chip?

Well, the correct procedure is to allways, allways, look at the datasheet. Of course, I do not follow that procedure. A good point (but not the best) is to take care of it with some space between the IC and other parts. So, a new component would have the biggest dimension found in the market for that footprint. I prefer to make a new footprint, because I dont like the style of the silkscreen of the ICs on the PCB library.
