Thanks! It does appear to work to export to DVI (LuaTeX) _after_ I uncheck Document/settings/fonts use non-tex fonts. Yes, good EPS were created. Unfortunately, the names of the EPS files were mangled, and I think those names don't match those in the DVI file, so I needed to manually create a bunch of symlinks from the names used in the dvi file to the mangled names, e.g., 0_home_nbecker_scma-unframed_frame_format-cropped.eps -> frame_format- cropped.eps The whole process would've been automated nicely if not for this.
