ODS file to demonstrate the bug

When printing a Calc sheet, the page footer print result differs violently from the print preview. The same as with the printout result can be seen with PDF export.

I found 2 major problems, both of which may be interdependent:

* The font does not really look like it does in the preview.
* The footer runs gets cut off on the right side and is printed incompletely.

Attached is a sample ODS file (which was used in an attempt to create a letterhead template for myself). Also attached are two screenshots (one showing the print preview of the footer area, the other showing the print result).

Further notes:
==============

* This used to work with previous versions of LibreOffice (as well as with OpenOffice).
* After upgrading to LibreOffice 4.x, it stopped to work (while it still works with the latest 3.x of Apache OpenOffice).
* The bug now appears in the most recent Apache OpenOffice 4.0.x.

Hi Kurt, thanks for reporting.

As you can see in the attached file generated from your ods file without any modification, I can not reproduce the issue.

Try resetting user profile, sometimes solves strange issues.

Oh, thanks a lot for your effort, mariosv! I'm glad it worked for you, so there
is a good chance your hint at resetting my user profile will work for me too!

Thanks again!

Following the advice from comment #3, I shut down LibreOffice, renamed my old user profile (this is a Mac) from 

   /Users/<user name>/Library/Application\ Support/libreoffice/4/user 

to 

   /Users/<user name>/Library/Application Support/libreoffice/4/user.old-2014feb7

restarted LO, downloaded my bug demo file from this report again to repeat the test: no luck, still the same problem.

@mariosv, I envy you  :-)

Footer in provided example prints as expected to both PDF and networked HP4050TN under Debian 7 x86_64 running v4.3.0.2.

Kurt, you have not indicated which specific versions of LO you have experienced this problem with. Can you try either v4.2.5.2 or v4.3.0.2 to see if the problem persists? Status set to NEEDINFO. Please set status back to UNCONFIRMED once the required information is provided / tasks are performed. Thanks.
