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.
