.NET resolves unnamed XLSX font families from the workbook's minor theme font,
falling back to the first style font when no theme font is available. Explicit
font families and each style's size and weight are preserved.
.NET XLSX double cell borders render as two solid strokes with a clear gap,
including print scaling and merged-cell continuations across pages. Adjacent
single borders do not fill the gap on a shared double edge.
Border conflict resolution is buffered per page to preserve low-memory
conversion behavior.
Automatic Calibri 11 row defaults use Excel's print line height; custom sheet
defaults and explicitly sized rows preserve their authored heights.
Calibri column widths use font-specific maximum-digit print metrics rather
than the generic font calibration.
Unsupported scripts retain Unicode font fallback instead of being forced into
the Normal style's Calibri font. For charts anchored outside data columns,
overflowing larger-font headings use spreadsheet default widths when widths
are not explicit. Other chart sheets retain their existing content sizing.

Java XLSX support is substantially broader than Java DOCX/PPTX support because
it uses Apache POI and PDFBox. It should not be described as uniformly
"text-only" across every Office format.

Resolve the actual Normal font before applying the new defaults.

ReadNormalFontFamily returns the theme minor font before checking styles. With a Calibri theme and an explicit Arial 11 Normal style, this new argument makes unnamed fonts inherit Calibri instead of Arial. The new row-height calibration also reduces those Arial rows to 14.52 points.

Resolve the family through the Normal style's fontId, as ReadNormalFontSize already does. Use the theme only when that font requires theme resolution.

Review comment at @src/MiniPdf/ExcelReader.cs at line 54:
Update the normalFontFamily resolution used by ReadFontStyles so it follows the Normal style’s fontId, as ReadNormalFontSize does, and uses the theme only when that font requires theme resolution; preserve the explicit Normal font family for unnamed-font defaults.

normalFontFamily is resolved from the theme’s minor font before considering the explicit Normal style font. A workbook can retain its Calibri theme while explicitly using Arial for the Normal style. In that case, this condition incorrectly reduces the default row height from 15 pt to 14.52 pt, shifting content vertically and potentially changing pagination.

I confirmed this with a focused regression test using an explicit Arial Normal style and a Calibri theme: it passes on main with 15 pt row spacing but fails on this PR with 14.52 pt.

Please resolve the Normal style’s actual font, honoring its explicit family and theme scheme, before applying the Calibri-specific row-height adjustment.
