Hi Joel,<br>
<br>
thanks a lot for your help on bibisecting the issue. Yes, the
problem must have occured for the fist time somewhere between 4.1
and 4.2Beta (I assume). To not spam the qa list, I will ask you for
the steps in an email to your email address.<br>
<br>
Additionally, it would be very helpful if someone could test whether
the bug 81592 actually occurs on very recent Linux systems, e.g.
Ubuntu 14.04 or new versions of Fedora, Debian,... They have a newer
pstoedit version which maybe does the trick. Thanks.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>

Hi Gerry,<br>
<br>
If you're running Linux do you mind trying to bibisect the issue.
I can walk you through the steps or you can read them here: <a

It helps a lot to get us closer to a solution.<br>

Dear all,<br>
<br>
LibreOffice is facing a regression with regards to the
quality/rendering of EPS graphics in LO 4.2&4.3 (<a
moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81592">https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81592</a>).
<br>
While the rendering quality of EPS in LO 4.0/4.1 was 'production
quality', the rendering in 4.2 & 4.3 regressed and is
unusable for publishing. The issue exists in rendering on
screen, printing, PDF export as well as with existing documents
or newly inserted EPS graphics.<br>
<br>
From my viewpoint, it is a terrible bug, because the graphics of
statistical software (Stata, SPSS) always showed best quality
when exported as EPS and inserted in LibreOffice. All existing
documents and prepared EPS graphics are not really usable
anymore on 4.2.x and later. Hence, I am stuck with LO 4.1.x
which is EOL and less performant and stable (and is missing a
few important features) than 4.2.x and 4.3.x. Hence, I seriously
hope that this bug can be fixed for the last version of the 4.2
line, which is version 4.2.7.<br>
<br>
I approach the QA list for this, because the bug has been tested
and confirmed so far only on Ubuntu 12.04 and Ubuntu 13.04 and I
would like to kindly ask you to perform tests on EPS quality
with new distribution versions, such as Ubuntu 14.04, 14.10Beta
as well as Fedora, Debian or others. For the generation of the
EPS representation in LibreOffice, the library <i>pstoedit</i>
is used and it is possible that newer versions of pstoedit give
better output. <br>
<br>
I would be glad if you could try to reproduce the bug following
the steps in the bug description. Please also try the pstoedit
command and instructions as given by Caolan in comment 4. <br>
I hope that someone finds a solution for this regression bug.<br>
<br>
Thanks a lot,<br>
Gerry<br>
