Bug Description

Binary package hint: python-uniconvertor

I used matplotlib to produce a simple plot and saved the plot in EPS format.

I then tried using UniConvertor 1.1.3 (from Ubuntu 9.04 repos) to convert the file to WMF format.

The result was a WMF file that shows as corrupt in Gimp and shows as empty in OOo. There is command-line output during the conversion:

john@thunder:~/john-papers$ uniconvertor Ts-subcrit-opt.eps Ts-subcrit-opt.wmf
/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/uniconvertor/app/utils/locale_utils.py:9: DeprecationWarning: The popen2 module is deprecated. Use the subprocess module.
  from popen2 import popen2
This is probably not an Illustrator file. Try embedding it as EPS
This is probably not an Illustrator file. Try embedding it as EPS
john@thunder:~/john-papers$ ls -lh !$
ls -lh Ts-subcrit-opt.wmf
-rw-r--r-- 1 john john 144 2009-06-30 11:35 Ts-subcrit-opt.wmf
john@thunder:~/john-papers$

Given that EPS has nothing to do (inherently) with Illustrator, I fail to see what this error message is telling me, so I conclude that we have a bug.

      make it version-specific (>= 1.0)
    - Add python-uniconvertor.preinst to remove left-over python-central bits
  * Switch to use quilt as patch-system
    - debian/rules:
      + import /usr/share/quilt/quilt.make instead of dpatch-equivalent
      + Change dependencies on patch-stamp to patch
    - debian/control: Change build-dep on dpatch to quilt
    - Rename patches from *.dpatch to *.patch and remove the
      dpatch-introduction in all of them.

  * Add 02_fake_fallback_font.patch which adds a fake fall-back font; this
    makes uniconvertor able to convert path-based files with embedded font
    information. Thanks to Xavi Drudis Ferran.
  * Update 03_fontwarning.patch to warn when using the fallback font.
