Description niklas.nebel 2009-06-25 17:20:42 UTC 
Calibri is the default font of Excel 2007. When a file that uses Calibri is
loaded in the Mac version, the replacement is a font that's much higher, so the
cells sometimes look bad (the worst effect is with bold, 10 pt, vertical
aligment "top"). If Arial is used as a replacement, these documents look much
better.

The default heading font in Excel 2007 is Cambria. The default replacement for
that looks different (Cambria has serifs), but doesn't have the wrong size.

@macport: what is the best stylistic match for the Calibri and Cambria on a default OSX 10.4/10.5 
installation?

@hdu

I'm not a font specialist, but a quick search in the list of available fonts
lead me to : either Hiragino Maru Gothic Pro or Tahoma ?

Thanks. Calibri looks reasonably similar to OSX's "Hiragino Maru Gothic Pro". Now we just need something 
similar for Cambria.

Strange as it may sound but on a freshly installed OSX "Apple Lisong" seems to be the best match for 
"Cambria". Applied both substitution suggestions in CWS vcl104.
