Well, the fonts are correct -- I checked in both the EPS source, and what Illustrator thinks the font is (after translation with pstopdf).
The definition of the fonts looks right in the EPS source (checked by comparing against a sample from illustrator). If nobody else is having the same problem, typing pstopdf is really not a tremendous burden. I just thought I would raise this issue. BTW, SVG files seem to do fine with fonts. However, it can take a very long time to save large files in MPL and import large files into Illustrator, which seems to want to translate them into some native format, and does so poorly. If I ever figure out a better solution, I'll let you all know, -Rob On Sep 6, 2006, at 8:46 AM, John Hunter wrote: >>>>>> "Rob" == Rob Hetland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > Rob> I have been having problems with postscript output from MPL > Rob> on my various Macs that is just beyond the problem discussed > Rob> in the tread here.
