            Bug ID: 108274
           Summary: Fonts don't zoom correctly even with monospaced fonts
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.3.2.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
Even with monospaced fonts, zooming doesn't zoom proportionally

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open the attached spreadsheet
observe: it is saved at zoom=140%; all but the top and bottom rows use only
Courier New (monospaced)
2. Zoom to 100%
observe: red triangles appear to show that the columns are not wide enough to
display the contents

Actual Results:  
Unlike Excel, if you adjust the contents of a cell to be visible, their spacing
will change and may not be visible at a different zoom percentage.

Expected Results:
Zooming in should allow the user magnified control over the appearance of the
cells such that when zooming back out, everything looks perfect - like sooming
in to the pixel level in Photoshop.


Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
If you use anything but a monospaced font the problem is MUCH MUCH worse.

This is the work flow I've been forced into:

1. Type the chord symbols in my desired non-monospaced font
2. Select the blank spaces between two chords in the same cell and change the
font of the spaces to Courier New
3. Retype the spaces

In this way, I get some semblance of the ability to zoom in and out without
totally ruining the appearance, but even with only Courier New, it's still not
perfect. Excel is perfect in this regard.
