Hello,
I am trying to label some gnuplot-generated EPS files with inkscape, in order to then use them in LateX in combination with psfrag. Everything is fine, except that the psfrag anchors are destroyed upon exporting to EPS. Here is an example:
http://mvl.chem.tu-berlin.de/people/stetten/inkscape/test_original.eps http://mvl.chem.tu-berlin.de/people/stetten/inkscape/test_inkscape_export.ep...
(Also, why is the image size and the (relative) size of the BBox changed upon export?)
I realize the importance of the "export text as paths" checkbox, and while both settings produce different EPS files, none contains the psfrag labels. I tried with inkscape 0.44.1, 0.45.1, and 0.41 (on Debian).
I found several reports on the web that the combination of EPS and inkscape and psfrag works perfectly well. Please help, what am I doing wrong?!
The problem is at the importing stage. The text is being converted to paths (look at the text with the XML editor dialog). psfrag does work well with Inkscape text objects. See the tip in the .tex section of:

You could replace the text as paths with text as text.
