The proposed patch is not perfect and the original bug may need an alternate way of fixing. The remaining problem with this patch is that the bounding box of the EPS is too large (wrongly calculated, it takes the screen viewport size !?) thus the drawing is mostly somewhere in the left top corner. Don't have enough XP with QPainter/QPrinter to see how to properly fix it. I propose we look at other KDE projects which export EPS from figures (there are lots).
The fundamental problem though is that lines/widget dimensions are 'stored' in pixels, while fonts in dpi. Generating a drawing on another resolution (ie printer, eps) than the screen resolution skews font-widget metrics, hence cause this bug report. The patch above fixed that by rendering the EPS at screen resolution.
