Created attachment 83117 [details] Annotated Screenshot Some parts of LibreOffice's experimental sidebar use the wrong font for the UI – the font "Segoe UI" seems to be hardcoded somewhere, along with a nonstandard font size. Note: the "Segoe UI" font is the normal UI font under Windows Vista and up, although not at this particular size. Also, the "Segoe UI" font is normally not installed under Linux, since it is a proprietary MS font. So, to reproduce it under Linux, you could either try finding Segoe UI on the web (not that hard, but I won't help) or copy it from a Windows partition (C:\Windows\Fonts, file names are segoeui.ttf, segoeuib.ttf, segoeuii.ttf, segoeuiz.ttf), then copy the font files to /usr/share/fonts on your Linux partition). Reproducing it under Windows may become a bit hard since Windows (at least, v8) doesn't seem to allow setting a different font… at least not via the Control Panel UI. Anyway, under Linux, if you have installed Segoe UI, it's easy to reproduce: 1. Start LibreOffice Writer 2. Go to Tools > Options > LibreOffice/Advanced, then tick Enable Experimental Sidebar 3. Click OK 4. Click Restart Now 5. Click the second icon from the top of the sidebar to open the Properties panel 6. If the settings under Page are not expanded, do this now 7. Click on any of the four icons under Page Result: you'll see a (often just slightly) different font being used in the popup.
Thanks Stefan :)! I can confirm this behavior, tested using Windows 8 with LibreOffice Version: 4.2.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: 2f6cbe13e61c44d4bab8192a4708b698d3d9da33 TinderBox: Win-x86@6-debug, Branch:master, Time: 2013-07-25_00:00:21 Kind regards, Joren
Looks fixed to me. @Stefan: Can you verify this? Probably due the conversion to .UI Tested using Windows 8 and Version: 4.2.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: 3de7c7b5854335a82948560b3cc5b302171e340f TinderBox: Windows-x86@47-TDF, Branch:master, Time: 2013-10-15_13:31:21 Kind regards, Joren

Crud... sorry for dropping the ball here. The font family issue still exists for me in a recent nightly. However, the font size looks better now.
For the record, Charis SIL and Segoe UI have a quite extreme difference in x-height. That is why you were seeing that difference in visual size, even though the points were the same.
