Inkscape EPS and Word 2007

Postby BoudewijnD83 » Mon Sep 20, 2010 11:04 pm

Hi,

I have recently update to inkscape 0.48 but now I have some trouble importing EPS files (saved in Inkscape) in Word 2007. After import no text is shown or were text was charaters like &*^% occure. When I save my inkscape file as eps with text to path conversion, all the fonts look really squarish and ugly. Is there a workaround or should i wait for 0.48.1?

cheers,

\BoudewijnD

Hi,

As a work around I usually use the following when porting Inkscape to another application

>File >Save As... plain.svg
>Import the plain svg file to scribus (opensource desktop publisher)
>Then export the svg file from scribus to .eps or .pdf

I have yet to come across a problem with the follow on application, in this instance Word 2007, displaying a corrupted file. It seems since scribus' main feature set is based on open desktop publishing its implementation of .pdf and .eps is more robust than the implementation that is currently within inkscape.
