That didn't help, unfortunately :-( And that code block is indeed the
same in LO 24.2, so when using 1.18 with 24.2 it should have the same
effect.

What's so strange is that the same letter is rendered in different ways
with 24.8+1.18 alhough the letters are all exactly at the same position
of e.g. a calc cell compared to 24.8+1.16 or 24.2 (i.e. they don't
take more space and therefore move etc.).

So should this different rendering of same letters happen at all or is
that where the problem starts?
