--- Comment #20 from Mike Kaganski <mikekaganski at hotmail.com> ---
The attached PDF (unfortunately, hybrid one -> opens as Writer document) still
allows to see the resulting problem, which is definitely a substitution
problem.

If you open the PDF in a viewer (I wish I could open it in Draw!), copy the
text, and paste into Writer, you will be able to inspect the fonts of the
characters - and then it's obvious that the first line (the top border of the
table) is a mix of Calibri-Light (proportional-width font!) and Consolas; the
second line (with the column titles) consists of OpenSymbol and Cubiculum (it
shows its name even if you don't have the font, like myself); the third is
Consolas...

So the problem is that LibreOffice mot only does not take monospace font
character width into account when searching for substitutes - it even doesn't
give a monospace substitution: it's clear that the system has necessary
monospace fonts, but the resulting substitution may well be a proportional font
like Calibri or OpenSymbol.

For the test, you may use Noto Mono instead of Cubiculum.

Setting to NEW.
