Hi Andrei,

Maybe I was not clear. I have several machines, all running either the same 
version of Linux, with (seems) the same fonts, or sometime a slightly 
different (e.g. upgraded) version of Linux. Or simply I update Libre Office.

And every time, I have to reformat the whole document, because the same font 
does not take the same space. This is frustrating an time consuming. Pictures 
move, end of page moves, page numbers change...

For example I don't update Libre Office before July because I have lots of 
documents that I probably need to reformat if I  update, and I'll do that 
during the hollyday, for the next school year.

I would expect a document to remain the same as long as I stay on the same 
platform. Of course, changing to Mac or Windows I do expect to reformat (and 
I use PDF as far as I can).

Regards,

Thierry
