Hi Thomas, dunno if that would help, but please try these:
a) check if you have "dir" lines in /etc/X11/XftConfig (dunno if this applies, had to use id for font AA in KDE...but am back to GNOME again ;-] )
b) reinstall XFonts (quite large...if not using a fast inet conn) c) try to embed the fonts into the eps, well, not that elegantly hth, TimoP.S. you can visit me this weekend. one of the reasons to do that is to investigate your LEGO stuff ;-) *g
