Version 5.3 - Calc strange font-rendering

English
, , ,
#1

I just installed version 5.3 and I notice some strange font-rendering in Calc.

I first noticed that the column sizes in my Calc documents have changed (they became larger/wider) and I also noticed that some fonts are a bit squeezed together (don’t know if that’s the correct term).

So my question is … what is causing this? Has something been changed to the way the fonts are rendered? Has an option been added which I should disable? What is going on?

What could have caused the columns to become wider and the fonts pushed together?

Anyone who can tell me?

Thanks for your reply. Do I understand correctly that this is ‘the new way’ and it can’t be changed? So I just have to get used to this new style of font-rendering? Can you confirm?

** BUMP **

Can anyone tell me if I can change this new way of font-rendering?

Or is it just something I’ll have to get used to?
