What I *really* want is a way to *import* Postscript into OpenOffice.org. Not as an image (though even a postscript file with a preview image as XFig handles it would be nice, and OOo doesn't do that), but as the actual objects, so that they might be moved about and further edited.
I've managed to do it, sort of, into XFig using ps2fig. I find that it's sort of a pain to deal with at that point.
I also haven't managed to export XFig into something that can be imported into OpenOffice.org. This too is a pain.
ps2fig does have a DXF option, which ostensibly OpenOffice.org supports, but I find the translation is no good. OpenOffice.org thinks that the imported drawing (in the cases I've tried-- I have a very specific need) is
*tiny*, and the quantization of the positions completely screw everything up. Fonts are the wrong relative sizes as well.
