            Bug ID: 135427
           Summary: eps import with text has completely bogus inter-letter
                    spacing
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 4.2.7.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: filters and storage
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: samuel.thibault at ens-lyon.org

Description:
When importing a .eps image file containing text and the pstoedit tool is
installed, the result is horrible because the inter-letter spacing is
completely bogus.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new document
2. Insert->Image, select a .eps file containing text

Actual Results:
The image gets inserted, but the letter of the text inside the image are
completely ill-placed.

Expected Results:
The letters of the text should be spaced according to the font, so words can be
read normally.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes



Additional Info:
Purging from my system the pstoedit tool avoids the issue (I'm then getting a
rasterized output, lower quality but proper text spacing).

I have been having the issue since ages, libreoffice 4.2, I also tried 6.0.7.3,
6.1.6.3, 6.2.8.2, 6.3.6.2, 6.3.4.2, 7.0.0 rc2, with the same result.

I have dug the issue and found that libreoffice should just pass -nfw to the
pstoedit tool, as actually documented by pstoedit itself. I will submit a merge
request doing this.
