Thank you for reporting the bug. I can not reproduce the bug in both the stable version and daily build versions - 

Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha1+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 52f70f04bdc586a072141e069d451a979c5f4cb7
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-IN (en_IN); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded


Version: 7.5.4.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 36ccfdc35048b057fd9854c757a8b67ec53977b6
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3

Please find the attached test case document for your reference.

Can not reproduce with 7.5, both with and without Calibri font installed in Linux.

Version: 7.5.1.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: fcbaee479e84c6cd81291587d2ee68cba099e129
CPU threads: 12; OS: Linux 5.19; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

It might be that the Calibri is not available on your Linux system, and the fallback font is not good.

At least upload a screenshot that shows the problem. I change the status to NEEDINFO.

It can't be the same issue as that was for macOS + Retina and the referenced bug 122218 was fixed in 2020.

Can you share how you installed Calibri font? Some package of Microsoft fonts available in Fedora repositories?

Btw. are you using display scaling due to having a HiDPI monitor?
