Priority: medium
Bug ID: 65550
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: PRINTING: Using a missing (or not downloadable to
printer?) font leads to incorrect formatting
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux (All)
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Other
Whiteboard: BSA
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.0.3.3 release
Component: Spreadsheet
Product: LibreOffice
Created attachment 80535

Spreadsheet showing vertically-overlapped cells in PagePreview or printing
If a spreadsheet is opened which uses a font which is not actually available
(e.g., the file was created using Microsoft Excel on a different computer),
then in some situations the display on the screen looks good but printing is
(silently) messed up.
Somewhere along the line LO should tell the user it doesn't have the correct
font, or can't correctly format with the font, or can't print with it...
whatever the problem really is.
Note: The problem appears in 'Page Preview' within Libre Office, so it is not
an external problem with printer or drivers. It seems that LO is formatting
text differently in normal display and in the print-preview display; I'm
guessing some font substitution is happening only in the print view.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open attached bug.xlsx
2. Select all rows, rightclick->Optimal Row Height (add 0.0); click OK
Observe that everything looks okay.
3. Click the preview icon (or File->Page Preview)
Observe that cells vertically overlap.
Expected behavior: Should get correct (or at least consistent) formatting
between editing and page-preview views. If printing is not possible, the user
should be warned with a pop-up or something. If font substitution is
necessary, it might be helpful to substitute the font when editing in
Page-Break-Preview mode.
