Description rx_px 2012-10-17 10:27:38 UTC
Problem description: 

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a text box and write some text;
2. Select text, right click, Character-> Font effects.
3. In overline choose "simple".
4. Export as EMF.

Current behavior:
The overline does not show in exported EMF.

Expected behavior:
The exported file should look like the original.

Comment 1 A (Andy) 2013-03-02 22:39:48 UTC
reproducible with LO 4.0.0.3 (Win7 Home, 64bit)

Reproduced with the following steps:
1. Opened DRAWING
2. Inserted a text box and written any text
3. Selected the text
4. Went to CHARACTER in the menu FORMAT
5. Went to the tab FONT EFFECTS
6. Chosen SINGLE OVERLINING
7. Export as emf
8. Opened the emf

Result: The OVERLINING is not exported.  But this is not only the case for the single overlining, but for all types of overlining.
But there are also problems with other font effects.  For instance all types of UNDERLINING are exported as a single underline, regardless whether this was in the original a dash or wave line, etc.  The same issue you can see for the font effect STRIKETHROUGH.  RELIEF effects are also not at all exported.

@Fridrich:  Could this maybe be an issue for you?

EMF font doesn't support overline.
To implement this feature the line above the text will have to be rendered separately.
EMF doesn't support grouping either, therefore export and import back from EMF will create two independent objects.
