Bug description:
  Ubuntu/Xubuntu 18.04 package includes fonts "Liberation Sans" (etc
  "Liberation") with sligtly shrinked font metrics. This issue leads to
  all office documents typed in Liberation Sans fonts have corrupted
  formatting in Ubuntu 18.04 (but these documents correctly opened in
  other OS's, for example Ubuntu 17.10). Documents with corrupted
  formatting can not print properly: all paragraphs are shifted up,
  embedded tables in text - splitted on page breaks. Document
  circulation in system based on Ubuntu 18.04 operating systems
  temporarily paralized, because Liberation fonts are basic fonts for
  open-source document circulation.

  In attachment I have type a example office document with 2 pages and
  enumerated strings. On normal ordinary conditions this document have
  54 strings on first page and 54 string on second page. But if this
  document open in Ubuntu 18.04, it's found than 5 strings from second
  page moves to first page. Compare font versions embedded with Ubuntu
  packages we can see that versions are different (sudo apr search
  fonts-liberation* command):

  Ubuntu 17.10 - 1:1.07.4-2, 2.00.1-3
  Ubuntu 18.04 - 1:1.07.4-5, 2.00.1-5

  I have create a bug 117411 "Font metrics slightly changed after update
  OS to Ubuntu 18.04", see
  https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=117411, but I
  think that this bug concerns a Ubuntu/Xubuntu 18.04 package.
