Description

```
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.
with excel reader 2.21
2.
try to load attached .xls file
3.
Output is rubbish

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The expected output is a pricelist, which was created in Excel 2010 and Saved
As .xls 97-2003 file. Instead it a) shows rubbish, and b) column widths in
table are messed up.

Please provide any additional information below.

I've tried applied patches from the Issues section, in particular the one about
Arabic text and Spanish & Russian not displaying properly, but it didn't change
a thing. Plz help.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the report with the attached scpricelist.xls using Excel reader 2.21, checking both the Russian text and the column widths. Review the existing Arabic and Spanish text patches mentioned in the issue and compare their behavior with this file. Done means the spreadsheet content is readable and its column widths are preserved.
