Thanks Michael. I am not too worried about rendering as long as the postscript in the EPS is output to PS in the print output. I didn't realise there were so many bugs for this. My situation is more like https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81497 For now AOO solves the issue for

Hi :) Ahh, i have trouble with the Svg output from Inkscape sometimes. I suspect it is a user-error (a classic pebkac probably). There are 2 versions of Svg output, one more standard and the other easier to pull back in and re-edit, and i think one of them goes a bit funny with any lettering. I
