The document in question

Opening a received document (attached) for a test during the online schooling, possibly copyright protected, did not render the right font, Twinkl, presumably embedded. See attached screenshots and proofs from Windows and Microsoft Word 365.

Looking in the document, some texts are truncated. To be verified if this happens due to the replacement font size or there's other reason.
Comment 5 Timur 2021-03-24 12:38:26 UTC
Repro in Windows so All. 
Not sure if this is DOC or font specific or related to bug 126936.

I have tried in 7.1.1.2 AppImage, it behaves exactly the same as before.
Comment 8 Timur 2021-03-25 10:44:27 UTC
(In reply to Harshita Nag from comment #6)
7.1.0.3 is not very old and you cannot ask to test with newer version. Even if it is, bug should be tested first and not just user asked to test with newer version, unless steps are not easy. Here they are.
So you wrongly set Needinfo, please do not. It's done only if you cannot reproduce with reported version.
To avoid this, I set New. But still this may be a duplicate.

gtimur@gmail.com, I am extremely sorry about the mistake that happened today from my side. Will be more careful next time.

Hello,

Tried on the AppImage distributions:

Version: 7.5.1.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: fcbaee479e84c6cd81291587d2ee68cba099e129
CPU threads: 16; OS: Linux 6.1; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-US (C.UTF8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

Version: 7.4.6.2 / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 5b1f5509c2decdade7fda905e3e1429a67acd63d
CPU threads: 16; OS: Linux 6.1; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 (cairo+xcb)
Locale: en-US (C.UTF8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

The bug is still present on both.

If you go to File - Properties - Font, you can see nothing is checked on Font embedding. So, if the font is not on someone system, the font is replaced with a substitute font.

Retested with
Version: 24.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: a34dcd03254480927c403d904c0e754802d97b90
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: ro-RO (ro_RO.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded
