In the file I will attach, in the second column, there are two decimals
shown in XL2k but three in gnumeric.

Comment 2 Frederic Parrenin 2003-11-19 17:27:46 UTC 
Sorry, it was in fact the contrary: two decimals in gnumeric and three
in XL2k.
Comment 3 Morten Welinder 2003-11-20 14:34:02 UTC 
What cell(s) are you talking about?  In gnumeric, I see three decimals
in for example B11, not in B4 and five in A5.
Comment 4 Morten Welinder 2003-11-20 14:36:05 UTC 
...and it looks exactly the same in excel for me.
Comment 5 Frederic Parrenin 2003-11-20 15:14:38 UTC 
Gnumeric shows maximum two digits for me.
See the screenshot.

Comment 7 Frederic Parrenin 2003-11-20 15:31:49 UTC 
I just want to see where the problem comes from. If you expand column
B, the third digit appears.
It looks strange for me, because there seems to be enough place to
show this third digit.
I realize it also comes from the fact that I don't have the Geneva
font installed on my system. Thus, gnumeric uses "Sans" instead.
Comment 8 Jody Goldberg 2003-12-22 18:45:47 UTC 
We were being a bit too pesimistic in our width calculations.  Patched
in CVS.  I won't say fixed, but it is patched.  The real solution is
to get the real font info down into the format engine.
