An EMF image does not render in DOC

From https://github.com/metanorma/iso-19144-2/pull/9

An EMF image file is not rendering in DOC output though there are many
others of the same type that do render.

image file: 008.zip

==== LC_VegetationElement subtypes

The LC_VegetationElement metalanguage object is a subtype of LC_Element.
It has one subtype: LC_GrowthForm and has a relationship
_growthFormCharacteristics_ to a component LC_LandCoverElementCharacteristic.

I was able to open this in Adobe Illustrator but nonetheless it looks defective.

I think this may be an issue with https://github.com/metanorma/libemf2svg . Can you post the issue there?

Actually, emf2svg was able to convert it properly. Here it is.

Maybe there is some error in Metanorma that prevented it from working?

[ronaldtse]

Or maybe this is a DOC compatibility issue with this particular EMF? But I was able to insert it directly to Word.

@manuelfuenmayor the EMF image shows properly in my generated Word document:

Can you upgrade Metanorma and see if it fixes the problem for you?

[manuelfuenmayor]

@ronaldtse, no. I get the same result. I've updated my gems and tried compiling just the image along (with little content) and with other flavors (like OGC), and nothing.
@anermina can you try to generate this image in DOC output, please?

@ronaldtse
If you mean missing lines, these are actually lines that are scaled down to zero width by the applciation you use.
I am not sure if it can be fixed in https://github.com/metanorma/libemf2svg but in any case it is not related to this issue (IMHO)

@manuelfuenmayor
Can you attach the broken DOC file please ? If it is already attached, I am sorry. Pls point me to it.

@maxirmx
Sure, here you are: document.zip

@anermina can you try to generate this image in DOC output, please?

Just to confirm that I am also not able to generate this image when using Windows OS.

Indeed -- emf2svg was able to convert the image on my Apple M1 without issue. Thanks!

Perhaps this is only a Windows issue.

@CAMOBAP could you have a look whether you can:

1. See the 008.emf on Windows
2. Run the command emf2svg 008.emf x.svg on Windows and see how x.svg looks like?

Thanks!
