Hi.
I had this same thing. The document font was arial on both machines. But I found the arial fonts were not the same. I copied the arial font from the first machine to the second machine (deleting and replacing the font) and the layout was then the same.

I never heard of that issue. Maybe the TTF vs. OTF fonts would make a difference, but I use TTF for all my fonts if I have it in that format. I do make sure that any of my systems have the same list of fonts installed.

It is indeed an issue. On my XP, I have Arial v.3.0, whereas on my Windows 7, I have Arial 5.06. From what I see, they are identical, except v.5 has better kerning pairs with accented letters ("Téléphone" doesn't look as bad) and more special letters. But other less basic fonts have been fine-tuned over the years, with sometimes unexpected results. Also a bug was corrected between OOo 3.2 and LO 3.3: previously, line spacing at less than 100% was not rendered correctly. So I gained 1-2 lines per page on many documents.
