Bug Description
Hello Inkscape dev team
This is probably my 1st bug report to inkscape. I work with inkscape for several years now and also want to use the opportunity to say "thanks for the good work".
OS: likely independent (problem exists on Linux 64/32 as well as W32)
HW: independent
general setup: various boxes (x86/amd64), inkscape 0.91 on Gentoo Linux (various, 64 and 64/32 multilib/multiABI and pure 32) or Windows XP (NT 5.1) (SP3)
problem:
( might be similar or the same as https:/
I have a free-as-in-beer program called "Spin Works" (v3.x) that seems to run on .net (and mono in Linux though I didn't dare to emerge all that mono stuff an mess with it yet). The program is for working on NMR spectra (this is very handy for chemists).
So it allows you to export the spectra once you're satisfied with it, but sadly not as SVG but only as emf. I don't know if it uses its own export filter or some windows / .net library for that.
In the end you obtain an emf file which has a bit too much height ("page size") but that was no real problem. Of course when I want to incorporate it in my thesis or a paper and add e.g. a molecule sketch to it I nedd to edit it and bring it to a real format. (Didn't try if libo can read emf, iirc wmf was possible with ymmv-results.)
The first thing that comes to my mind when something is even remotely vector is inkscape. So "back at the time" (0.48.x) I used inkscape on windows, since I was already working with Spinworks at W32. Loaded the emf and exported it as SVG and things were fine. Could work with it on my Linux machines, put it then in LibO. Since v0.91 inkscape has its own emf import (uses lib) and this does not work anymore. Neither in Linux (did not before here anyway) nor Windows - so I guess 0.48.x used an external W32 lib for that purpose in the past.
The pure graph is still intact, but all the text and stuff below is totally messed up. I had to revert to inkscape 0.48.5 on W32 and have to do the emf2SVG export there again.
I have attached one possible sample file.
Also a bitmapish png that show how things should look like and a screenshot of the garbled import.
PS: I do have a media-libs/
