This is a followup to bug 131136 In that bug, the UI for "Use printer metrics for document formatting" option was removed and was shipped in 7.5. This is to continue that work and remove support of that obsolete feature completely. Code pointer: git grep UsePrinterMetrics
Before someone spends some time on it, what about these ? offapi/com/sun/star/sheet/XGlobalSheetSettings.idl:134: [attribute] boolean UsePrinterMetrics; offapi/type_reference/offapi.idl:11938: [attribute] boolean UsePrinterMetrics; oovbaapi/ooo/vba/word/WdCompatibility.idl:65: const long wdUsePrinterMetrics = 26; If in idl files, I suppose we can't remove them now, just deprecate them and hope that in 10 years, we can remove them at last?
Regina/Miklos/Heiko/Xisco: any thoughts about UsePrinterMetrics in 3 idl files (see my previous comment)? Since a new bug related to this happened (tdf#157368), it means others may happen here, it would be great to tackle this at last.
I think, it cannot be simply removed. It belongs to the published interface XGlobalSheetSettings It seems, it is needed for interoperability with MS Office. It seems it affects the situation when a font is used, that is built-in in the printer and/or (?) postscript and PDF export. The attribute exists already in OOo. Some discussions can be found in https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=96397. Instead of testing with real printers, using the print preview might work.
