However, how do you import eps-files? I haven't found a filter for .eps files. Is there e plugin to do that?

One application I use to create my eps files saves them as epsi. I just rename them to eps and they import ok. I have done this a lot to import drawings from our CAD system and don't know if the epsi from the program I use to adjust the line thicknesses and add text are actually eps but it works for those drawings. Sometimes I use both Karbon14 and Inkscape. One edits attributes easier and one saves a better preview. -- 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.
