Hi everybody, I got a strange problem with inkscape, psfrag and eps. The situation: I am using psfrag to replace text (with counters, but that doesn't really matter) from Inkscape-eps-figures during latex compiler runs. The problem is that it works only if the embed type 1 font option in Inkscapes eps-export is deselected (export text as paths is deselected too). But unfortunately then all the text appears as a sort of a typewriter font (so the installed type1-fonts are not used?).

If I activate the embed fonts feature the replacements seem to be made for the .dvi that is produced by latex, but in the final .eps or .pdf the to-be-replaced text strings show up again. Any Ideas how this issue can be avoided?

The system is a Fedora 9 Linux box with all the updates so far (Inkscape 0.46, Texlive 2007).

best regards jan
