Created attachment 167518 [details] Screenshot for description Following discussion started in https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=132938#c17 1. Create a table in Writer 2. Add any text into it, set the "Liberation Serif" font or actually any other font 3. Select all text and set the "OpenSymbol" font 4. You will see that the symbols became positioned much closer to the top border of the cell comparing to their original position 5. Select only a part of the text inside the cell 6. Set "Liberation Serif" as a font of that selected part of the text 7. You will see that symbols with the OpenSymbol font became positioned more correctly I attach a screenshot showing it. The next attachment is a document with a table in the screenshot.

Created attachment 167520 [details] Positioning of the "XO Windy" font I tried another free symbolic font — "XO Windy" from https://fonts.myoffice.ru/ , I am not sure if the same positioning behaviour is repoducible, but it seems me that the center of the symbol is different from non-symbolic fonts. Attaching a screenshot.
Created attachment 167521 [details] Different positioning of the same font in different cells During experiments of setting different fonts and removing and adding text I have somehow managed to make OpenSymbol characters be positioned with different center line in two cells. Don't know how to reproduce it. See the attached screenshot.
It looks to me like an alignment problem of the glyphs inside theyre boxes. However please contact someone with deep knowledge of opensymbol uses. It is used for LO spetial features, and making changes could for example alter ordered lists if it depends on it (I don't really know which features are). So make sure it is safe. However I would recommend to work in font replacement, and use a third party font, with complete glyphs collection and correctly aligned. Opensymbol is a marshy ground.
Just noticed that the cursor on lines with only opensymbol seems to be shorter than other lines. Could also be something related with the glyphs height.
This is actually expected. It is a manifestation of the font metrics--each font will have its own internal and external leading, which affects line spacing and positioning of the base line in a run of text. Easier to see if you apply a highlight to the OpenSymbol text run, and likewise a background fill for the run.
Does that mean NOTABUG?
