This is a bug, in fact.
I use 72 dots per inch resolution. So when I open a word/excel document in
OpenOffice it looks smaller than it should be than it should be. Everything
becomes unreadable at 100% zoom. Excel in Windows renders the document at 96
dots per inch. Ubuntu default resolution is 96 dots per inch. It means the
document will look different on various computers because of user settings.
So, for example someone set row height to 20 pixels in Excel using Windows. I
open the document, it calculates this 20 pixels to inches at 96 dpi, then it
renders it from inches to pixels at 72 dpi (which are taken from my settings),
so row height on my screen will be 15 pixels.
echo Xft.dpi: 72 | xrdb -merge
Open some document in OO. Close OO.
echo Xft.dpi: 96 | xrdb -merge
Open again, see the difference
