            Bug ID: 118337
           Summary: Evenly fill space between repeated character-fill in
                    number formats
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.1.0.0.beta2+
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc

This is mainly used when left-aligning currency symbols. Sample spreadsheet:

Currently the spreadsheet looks like the attached screenshot: the symbols are
more or less aligned, but there's some variance, which doesn't look great .
This occurs because left-alignment is achieved via character fill, and if the
font isn't monospaced, alignment won't be even.

For reference, the specification proposal mentions:
"Fill characters may not fill all the available space in a cell. The
distribution of the remaining space is implementation dependent."

https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/OFFICE-3765

If not too difficult, the best way would be to spread the remaining space
evenly between fill characters.
