I haven't used the column resizing feature myself but remember reading
on this list that it requires you to run you JVM in headless mode if you
don't have display system installed (like linux running without X
Windows System). This is required for calculating column width employing
the actual fonts you have used in your Sheet.
I think if the system generating the POI sheet don't have the required
fonts than the column resizing won't work correctly.

in my case. Can you send me a code example of
have you have achieved this using the old way.
Thank you very much

Subject: RE: POI Automatic column sizing
Interesting that this exists at all... However, I have older code
agnostic of that feature anyway, and there I collect the sizes by-column
and apply them using a factor, since the original size width value
returned by single cells is too small anyway compared to what seems to
be needed for applying it as column width.
With grouping characters switched on, this is too small either, but for
text content it works.
Reasonably I should distinguish between numeric cells with million
values and grouping characters on the one hand and text values on the
other. But in a table generating servlet handling very general requests
for lists, that is not always easy.
