Slide with a table

The attached presentation contains an empty DrawingML table that fits in the slide in PowerPoint, but is too tall when opened in Impress (and saving it keeps the wrong height).

In PowerPoint the font and sizes in the table are Arial, 18, 16 and 4. 
In Impress it becomes Timew New Roman (it's the same computer, so Arial is available).

Reproduced using LO 6.0 daily build (2017-10-08_04:01:54, 4d94541a7b88b76d856e30dba7f8a3de48260eda) & 3.3.0 / Windows 7.

Obvious. But in Impress in Windows I see Liberation Serif 24 not TNR. 
How is it created? 90 errors in Open XML Productivity Tool.

Interesting, I didn't check with Open XML SDK, but I can also see it now. It was a PPT created in PowerPoint by a client, then saved as PPTX by me (also in PowerPoint).

It's Liberation Serif 24 here.

Now it does not go outside the slide. Font is Liberation Sans 18

Bibisected with win32-6.1 and the change seems to be this megacommit from Armin: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/plugins/gitiles/core/+/6c14c27c75a03e2363f2b363ddf0a6f2f46cfa91%5E!/

Slide compared MSO LO

Original PPTX used to go out of slide in LO, now it doesn't. It still opens with wrong Liberation font instead of Arial.
But, same PPTX saved again in MSO opens fine in LO, with Arial.
In situations like this we may close the bug or maybe better leave it with low priority and better title. 
I'll change "FILEOPEN PPTX Table in attached presentation falls off slide" to "FILEOPEN PPTX Table opens with Liberation font instead of Arial (OK if PPTX resaved in MSO)".

Comment 10 Aron Budea 2025-02-07 17:37:28 UTC
The font still shows as Liberation Sans when the whole table is selected, but is Arial inside individual cells. I'd say that's close enough to mark this resolved.

The change occurred sometimes around 7.4, as latest of 7.3 Windows bibisect builds shows Liberation Sans, and latest of 7.4 shows Arial (inside cells).
