Comment 8 for bug 486734

I completely agree, the main problem is that openoffice does not support svg, eps or pdf, and openoffice is the place where this should be fixed. However, I don't see a solution there in the near future:

There actually is a svg import filter, however it doesn't seem to work very well (see attached screenshot, where I imported my initial svg file). As far as I know, it translates svg into odg, therefore I think this filter will have problems for quite some time. I think the inability to display svg or eps/pdf files is really a problem which should be solved.

I also tried the pdf import filter from the open office extensions, but it also doesn't display the graph right
