Indeed. However, eps output is only one of a couple of output formats
of inkscape. And it's not even hard to open the eps file in a text
editor and fix it: One needs to remove the line
%%DocumentMedia: plain 596 842 0 () ()
I'm not a PS expert, nor a C++ guru. But I think that
- it doesn't make sense at all to specify DocumentMedia for eps export
- the attached patch is all that's needed.
The patch has been tested on sid with the kk.svg file in the original
report, and it produced a nicely fit eps file, a one-page ps file, and a
somehow-nicely fit epsi file (the part of the figure that's off the
default page is clipped of, but that might be a feature, or a different
bug).
Regards, Frank
