Default How do I make a 0.5cm square plotting paper

I don't realy need it, but there should be a way to do it, and I think that's
a challenge.
Row and column size depends on the default font Excel uses when starting up.
When using Arial, a column size of 10 is 75 pixels, when using Arial Narrow
it is only 65 pixels. Row size stays the same.

Now, if I make both row and column size, say, 80 pixels, I get a square
cell. Or not? When drawing a rectangel from one corner to the other using the
ALT-key, the square is NOT square!

How is this possible?

Don't know what to tell you. Both solutions I gave work for me, but I'm
primarily using MacXL. I've never had a need for precision cell sizes,
either.

What happens if you use a different printer/driver?

I checked both solutions, and both do NOT make square cells. When I start to
draw a rectangle in the top left corner (using the ALT-key to snap it to the
corner), and pull it towards the lower right corner using the SHIFT-key to
make a square rectangle, it does not end up in the corner.

Still no real way to making a cell exactly square.
