Description Wapa 2021-02-11 14:56:38 UTC
Description:
A document that is 82 pages on a PC is only 75 on a Mac. Line feed is visibly smaller on the mac --> we had to do pagination, TOC and PDF export on the PC.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open my sample Document on a Mac and update the TOC. It will have 75 pages
2. Do the same on a PC. It will have 82 pages.

Actual Results:
Different pagination on PC and Mac.

Expected Results:
Identical pagination and appearance of the document on all platforms.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Could be related to the fonts that you are using, and maybe this are not included in the Mac computer, so LibreOffice is getting a similar font from the same family.

Could you try on Windows: go to File - Properties - Font and check Only embed fonts that are used in documents.

After that move again your file to Mac and try to reopen it. See if the solution proposed is working for you.

OR

Install the fonts you are using in your documents on Windows to be available on your Mac system.

Thank you @BogdanB. We did change the embed Fonts settings, but it didn't help. The fonts look file (while on OpenOffice they don't), but the line feed is different.

Installing the missing Windows font (Calibri) on the Mac did fix it!

I took it from here:

Thank you for your support.
