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.
