--- Comment #1 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
LibreOffice has no native handling of EPS/EPSF graphics/images (see bug 67464)
we are dependent on several 'helper' utilities--their presence on system will
control the way EPS are filter imported to LibreOffice.

EPS import filter ieps.cxx will use ghostscript and 'ps2edit' if present to
render the EPS to EMF vector graphic. That should provide transparency.

If not present it will use ghostscript, or ghosstscript and Imagemagik
'convert' to render to canvas raster, both provide alpha channel but the raster
import does not handle the Alpha channel.

For better fidelity and correct vector resolution for EPS graphics, best to
work externally to LibreOffice and convert directly--either to EMF, or to SVG
