Test Kit with Screenshot

Steps how to reproduce with parallel installation of Master "LOdev  3.7.0.0.alpha0+   -  ENGLISH UI / German Locale  [Build ID: c7e559]"  {tinderbox: @16, pull time 2012-10-03 05:46:26} on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit):

1. open .cdr from attached test kit
   Expected: should look similar to this here
             <http://www.bielefeldundbuss.de/bilder/logo500T.gif>
   Actual: Completely mangled 

The problem is not the different front (spomething different from "Pump Triline", but the linefeed(s) in the text. The reason is the too small page size A4. If you resize to A0 and increase Element size proportional by clicking a control point at the right drag it with pushed mouse button to the right you will get a more or less normal view.

"LOGO0 (2).CDR" is a very old CorelDRAW 7 document, "LOGO0Times.cdr" has been created with CorelDRAW X6 from the old document, I replaced "Pump Triline" font by "Times New Roman". Strange, but something different:  "LOGO0Times.cdr" continues showing "Pump Triline" in LibO7, but CorelDRAW correctly shows TNR.

May be my first analysis was a little too quick, I also see that mangled Test in a New samples document with sufficient page size.

Sample 3 With too small Characters

Text in Text Boxes shows character size 12pt instead of 48
Comment 4 Fridrich Strba 2012-10-05 06:41:01 UTC
This document is a Corel Draw x6 document, where the new way of keeping character properties started: in a string that looks a bit xml-ish. We are not yet supporting that way of keeping them :(
So, more of a feature request then a bug, a workaround could be to save in some version like x3 file-format and there the sizes should be read right.

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

   *Test to see if the bug is still present on a currently supported version of LibreOffice (4.4.1 or later)
   https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

   *If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the version of LibreOffice and your operating system, and any changes you see in the bug behavior

If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so: 

1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3)

http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug 
3. Leave a comment with your results. 
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to "inherited from OOo";
