Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 71969
Incorrect Drawing of EMF Files
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 UTC
Open Office is not importing certain EMF files correctly, nor does it correctly interpret the content from which those files were made when it is copied and pasted into OO Writer. The problem is that additional lines are drawn into these graphics, connecting points which are not meant to be connected. This happens any time I attempt to use these files in Open Office, whether in Writer or in Draw. The content in question is created in the program Glyphotext (http://glyphotext.net/en/), a hieroglyphic text editor which produces vector graphics and can save them as EMF files. These files work correctly in Microsoft Word and Adobe Illustrator, as do the copied-and-pasted graphics; it is only OO Writer which has this problem. A sample EMF may be found at http://www.djehuty.info/images/hatshepsut.emf The correct appearance of this image may be found at http://www.djehuty.info/images/hatshepsut.gif An Open Office forum thread in which this issue is discussed may be found at http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?p=188730 Please let me know if there is a way to fix this, or if I may provide you with more information. Thank you very much for your assistance.
