Sometimes number on my Gnumeric sheet are substitute with # on

This means that the cell was too small to contain the number.

No! If I add apos (') before number (example: <gmr:Cell>'1</gmr:Cell>),
It is print correctly.

:-(

That doesn't mean anything. If you add an apostrophe in front of the
number, it will be interpreted as a string and printed in exactly the
format as entered. Without the apostrophe it is considered a number and
is being formatted as a number. A formatted number must fit into the
cell. A string may stick into the following (or preceding) cell if that
one is empty.

try it yourself in a gnumeric spreadsheet: enter 12221 into D1 and
'12221 into D2. Then make the column narrower...
