Dear Sir or Madame:
I wish to make font substitutions in exported EPS
figures, using the "psfrag" package of the LaTeX docu-
ment preparation system.
I am not sure of the correct technical language
for this next part. I hope that I can make myself
clear. In older versions of oodraw, the EPS export
process included a check box that toggled between ren-
dering letters as curves or including the single char-
acter representation of each letter. In the latter
case, for example, it was possible to open an EPS file
and search for the actual text strings that appeared in
the exported figure. In the former case, I believe
that oodraw exports the point-to-point pen movements
that are required to render each letter.
I have searched the oodraw documentation and have
found no setting that allows for export of actual text
characters to an EPS figure (the first of the options
described above). I would like very much to recover
this capability. I could then use "psfrag" to scan
through EPS files and substitute Computer Modern fonts,
from LaTeX. Many journals prefer figures that allow
font substitution.
I found an article that explained how to fix my
problem on a Microsoft Windows machine (shudder) but I
am working in a Linux environment.
Sincerely,
[:-)] Mark
