不同计算机上的列宽不同

Question

I need to provide custom column width for my excel. I'm achieving it with a getColumn method by setting a number of points to width property.

Main question is why on different computers I'm getting different column width both in pixels and points. Is it possible to have same value (at least in points) for all exported excels?

For example the width of column is set to 16 points: on first computer I got 15.36 points and 176px , on the second - 15.29 points and 112px .

Additional question: is it happening because of different monitor resolutions or because of excel settings?

Answer 1

This should work (according to the docs ):

1. Specify the style of your columns, eg Normal , and specify the Font and Font Size of that style on the source computer that creates the workbook.
2. Explicitly set the Font and Font size of Normal Style on the target computer's Excel when opening the file to match that of the source computer.

By doing this you will have matched styles on the source and target computers, and hence experience the same column width.

PS: I'm assuming here that you are not using any Style other than Normal . If you are, then you will of course need to approach these styles appropriately.

Answer 2

The reason is different fonts available on each OS. Following by Ecma-376, widths and heights has digit size as a unit ( ch or em unit from css). Setting sizes should work perfectly with an available font for all OS.
