Do you intend to print them or make a PDF of them or just view on screen. The preview bitmap image with the eps is low resolution. You can change this in Karbon14/Inkscape I think to get higher quality. I find when I print, my prints are high resolution, from the eps vector information, not the preview, so check a print. For high resolution pdf documents from LO I need to print to ps and use ps2pdf. Printing to pdf direct from LO uses the preview image and the quality is not good. steve -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@libreoffice.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

I did that and LO read the file and produced output that was vaguely recognizable for what is was meant to be. To clarify: Originally the text is a music score that is produces as output of a music notation program as a .ps file (which normally is sent to a postscript printer). Normally I translate it to .pdf with ps2pdf to sent to others. However, when I import the .eps file the resolution is far too low and when I import the .pdf file it uses apparently an own font and not the font of the .pdf file and of course that is also not usable. I have still no reliable way to import music scores in LO.
