The fonts appear odd in the columns of a pivot table.

A few seconds before they appeared well. It seems I just changed the focus.

Please attach a sample file, and paste the information in Menu/Help/About LibreOffice, there is an icon to copy.

Comment 3 Stéphane Guillou (stragu) 2023-11-23 20:03:16 UTC
Please update to a currently supported version, preferably 7.6, and let us know if the issue persists.
Without an example document (or steps to reproduce), it will be difficult for us to troubleshoot the issue.

I can not reproduce.
Maybe you have not the font 'Arial' installed.

In an instant? I doubt it would change the presentation suddenly; either the font replacement was already active, or not.

No repro for me either.

If this change in presentation was sudden, I *imagine* that, *perhaps*, you could accidentally had pressed some keys that modified the font from "normal" to something else (e.g. italic, or whatever), or some attribute of the presentation on selected cells.

For example, selecting a cell/range and pressing [CTRL]+[J] – while using EN_US UI, so the key _might_ be different for your language – would present the cell with "Justified" alignment, effectively changing how the same text is presented on screen while still using the same font.

This is just one possible generic example of one possibility; I cannot know whether something remotely similar actually happen.

Perhaps something has had a side effect on LibreOffice on Windows ?
Comment 8 Stéphane Guillou (stragu) 2023-12-15 10:03:14 UTC
- Do you have any replacement rule set in the table in Tools > Options > LibreOffice > Fonts?
- Is the issue now persistent? What happens if you remove the direct formatting of the cell?
- Do you still see the issue in Safe Mode? (Help > Restart in safe mode)
Comment 9 Stéphane Guillou (stragu) 2023-12-15 10:09:40 UTC
(maybe ignore the question about removing the direct formatting, because I guess those are button labels, not simple cell values)

Would be also good to have the full version information copy-pasted from Help > About LibreOffice. I think your locale might influence which UI font is used.

And does zooming in and out have any impact on the issue?
Comment 10 Jérôme 2023-12-16 16:58:46 UTC
I have no personnal Windows box for installing a recent version. The version is still 7.3.7.2.M5 (x64) as in comment #2.
The font configuration panel of Windows shows I have a Arial font.
I have no replacement rule for fonts (the table is empty and the checkbox is unselected).
I can't reproduce this issue for the moment with the normal mode. The zooming in and out doesn't do anything. Thus I didn't test with the Safe Mode.
Could it be related to a Windows update in background or a M. Office 2016 update in background ?

Thanks for the info.
Given that you can't reproduce the issue anymore, let's mark as "insufficient data" but please set back ton "unconfirmed" if you witness it again and can provide some more information.
Might be worth also asking your system administrator to update to a more recent version of LO, if only for the recent security fixes.
Thank you!
