Interesting. Yes, I think you are right. Perhaps they do this to avoid
the need for embedding fonts in the EPS. I don't know; it's very odd.
Could you help me how I can change the export filter of draw to
export the text as real text inside the eps file?
To generate EPS files from Draw, I typically use the "Print to file"
option to get a Postscript file, then use ps2epsi to convert it to EPS.
That works well; in fact I never knew there was an EPS export until now.
But, it still may not help you. Text objects are represented in the file
as characters from an embedded font, but the text is not plain.
I created a single text box with the content
Text
object:
Hello EPS
and output to Postscript, then converted to EPS.
In the EPS file (and in the PS output), the strings look like this:
<5465787420>
[94 89 99 67 0]
xshow
1019 1527 moveto
<6F626A6563743A>
[98 99 58 89 76 67 0]
xshow
1019 1700 moveto
<48656C6C6F20455053>
[125 89 50 50 98 51 102 97 0]
xshow
$ echo -e "Text object:Hello EPS" | od -tx1
0000000 54 65 78 74 20 6f 62 6a 65 63 74 3a 48 65 6c 6c
0000020 6f 20 45 50 53 0a
So the text is hex-encoded and broken into lines. You will have to take
that into account to do your replacement.
