As I already mentioned, I already have adjustments to that OS's control, among
others, and I still have the need to use the OS's zoom feature when I need to
read the formula bar. So, please, I am asking you to be more flexible in the
terminology. It _can_ help, but it is not the ultimate solution; it might not
be enough. That OS's setting affects other areas of the OS's UI, and other
programs too. Claiming that users can freely keep making that setting higher
and higher (or lower and lower for this particular ticket) is not realistic;
yes, some users could, but there are other reasons not to modify it (more than
it has been). The formula bar in Calc is not the only factor to be considered
when modifying that setting. This is the reason for the recurring requests in
several tickets, either for accessibility reasons, for convenience, or for
reduction of UI glitches.

The WFM definition would need, IMHO, more input/feedback from the OP
(iaganicshe). According to the report, the CTL font that is being shown in the
formula bar is not adequate ATM in/for that system. You seem to suggest, IIUC,
that the System/OS font should be modified for this, and that the current
defaults in LO are ideal for every_and_all configurations/systems (i.e. "just
change the system's configurations"). I assume some users won't like/agree with
that idea, just for Calc's formula bar, or they might have a different default
language (not CTL) for the system/OS.

It might be helpful to have the OP's feedback.
