It's solved. See here:
"https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/calc-chart-printout-missing-axes-and-gridlines/72130"
for the solution.
Zero-width lines in PostScript and PDF have always been problematic. In typography there is
a "hairline", and zero-width was generally interpreted as the narrowest line the device could
render, e.g., a hairline. Some devices did not do well -- there would be dropouts and rasterization
artifacts on curves and sloping lines. I recall one scientific chart created by some specialized
commercial package. I told the author it would not reproduce well in the journal. The author
came back with the journal and was very pleased with the quality. Turned out the journal's
Illustrator expert had printed the illustration, scanned it, and redrew it for publication.
