I am not sure to understand your problem with CYMK but I can understand that 
it is not so good for other reasons (bitmap versus vector.) It would have 
been much better to find this problem much earlier when Laurent has started 
the horizontal lines. :-(

As for integrating Karbon in KWord, it looks fine but the question is when it 
will be done. Already now KWord 1.4 (including its filters) will need more 
manpower than was available for KWord 1.3: to move to the OOWriter file 
format and to port KoText to Qt4's text engine. So from where should the 
additional manpower come from?

So I would prefer to have a solution now (in 2003) than having to wait on 
KOffice 1.5 (in 2005).

Have a nice day!
