Description Hikaru Terazono 2021-11-21 11:15:38 UTC 
Description:
The UI font becomes bigger in LibreOffice with Japanese langpack applied on macOS Monterey (12.0.1, aarch64). With English UI language this problem does not occur.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Apply "LibreOffice Language Pack"

"LibreOffice Language Pack" doesnt seem to work properly, I commented out the check for a valid LibreOffice bundle.

2. Open LibreOffice

3. Switch the language to "Japanese"

Actual Results:
Every text on the UI became bigger than the English UI.

Expected Results:
The font size should be the same as that of the English UI.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

Comparison screenshot (25.2 + macOS 15.5)

Updated comparison screenshot. English UI above, Japanese UI below.

The Japanese UI font is still somewhat larger than the English UI font. However, it looks much more reasonable than before. Japanese text no longer tries to spill outside the borders of native UI elements.
