Screenshot of Windows 10 and Linux Mint

When the file is opened with Calc 25.2.4.3 under Windows 10 the display and printing are correct.
Unfortunately when the file is opened with Calc 24.2.7.2 under Linux Mint the display exceed almost in the middle of the next cell and a little when printing.

Please test in safe mode, Menu/Help/Restart in Safe Mode

Please attach a sample file, reduce the size as much as possible without private information,
and paste the information in Menu/Help/About LibreOffice, there is a copy icon.

In the screenshot the font 'Aptos' is in italic what means it is not installed, as the length of the cell is calculated in the number of characters in it, surely it implies it is miscalculated.

Hi,
I haven't used the “Aptos” font for the cells concerned, but the “Liberation Sans” font.
Here is another capture in safe mode under Linux which shows the fault. (comment6)

I've just done the test with calc on kubuntu. there's the same problem.
So there really is a difference in display between Linux and Windows.

Calc under Linux does not support this format code : @‘ ’*." :"

This is a real problem when exchanging documents.

I see the problem in 24.2 on Linux, but no longer on 25.8.
