Description lineinthesand 2009-04-24 11:25:53 UTC 
Insert an EMF graphic (enhanced metafile) into a presentation in Linux
Change any color of that graphic with the eyedropper tool
Save the presentation
Open it in Impress in Microsoft Windows
--> Any character used in the EMF will be extremely stretched (text that once 
was vertical is horizontal too)

If you do the reverse (insert EMF in Impress in Windows, change color, save, 
open in Impress in Linux), the characters will be compressed.

This is very annoying and hinders uncomplicated exchange of OO documents 
between Linux and Windows. It takes a lot of work because the graphics have to 
be inserted and eyedropped anew upon changing the OS.

Comment 4 lineinthesand 2009-04-24 11:35:17 UTC 
When the color of the EMF graphic is not changed, the exchange between OS does 
not alter the text/characters.

Please attach the original EMF for reproducing. Thanks.
