Dear Borut, The problem is that Mathematica does not export proprietary fonts. The solution depends on which Mathematica version you use. If you use Mathematica 4.0 or 4.1, you can download paul hinton's emmathfnt tool which manages inclusion of the fonts or you can configure ghostscript so that it puts Mathematica fonts into the graphics files. If you use 4.2.0, give it up, since font export isn't possible any more for the unexperienced user. This is because the emmathfnt tool does not work with the new font naming scheme. And neither the emmathfnt tool nor the support isn't updated. I wrote a request to paul hinton who explained me the issues involved in a friendly and clear reply and referred me to the wolfram support team. Now I am waiting about one week for an answer from support at wolfram.com. If you are an experienced user (with a c compiler available), try to adapt the source code of emmathfnt and recompile it. I tried to do this but I failed, since I don't understand the font naming scheme and other details. If you use version 4.2.1, you can configure font export in the preferences dialog (or give it as an option). [Wolfram research seems to have realized *finally* that eps font export is an important feature demanded by many users. It is surprising that this process lasted some years, since EPS font export questions were a FAQ in MathGroup.] If you have premier service, simply obtain the updated version.
