Just to be clear: Type 3 font output opens fine in illustrator for both pdf and eps output. Type 42 pdf output opens in illustrator but eps gives an error. The type 42 eps output opens fine for me in ghostscript and in Scribus for windows (which probaby is just using gs anyways...?) Illustrator definitely looks like the picky one here, but it seems strange to me... isn't eps Adobe's format? > Now if this really did work in Illustrator in 0.90.x and not now, one > could start to compare the output by hand and see what the root cause > may be.

I'm afraid > that without Illustrator, it will be hard for me to do that. It was definitely working in illustrator before, and isn't working now. If there's anything I can do to help, please let me know. Want a type 42 and type 3 version of my eps output?
