# Exporting to eps loses font/symbol information?

I have already asked this question, which has helped. However, now my parenthesis are coming out as Courier "H" and "L." How do I work around this? Is there an easier way to save a plot as EPS without having to change the characters line-by-line?

• The issue is it wants to render the parenthesis using mathematica fonts. I don't see a work around. Can you see if you have the same issue with "pdf" (That should properly embed the font..). – george2079 Dec 8 '14 at 22:37
• I prefer eps since I'm putting these figures in a LaTeX document. With pdf figures, the file size is way too big. – Erika H Dec 8 '14 at 23:09
• interesting, on inspection on both my systems (windows and linux ) the mathematica fonts are embedded in the eps. Can you open an example in a text editor and look for /FontName /Mathematica1 def ? If its there maybe your problem is with your viewer.. – george2079 Dec 9 '14 at 14:34

I believe this is a duplicate of this question, and that the answer is to include BaseStyle -> {PrivateFontOptions -> {"OperatorSubstitution" ->False}}.
