Thank you. Have you installed or removed any fonts (or applications which may contain fonts) that may have caused the change in behavior? You can alter the appearance by explicitly specifying "FontType"->"Outline": Export["~/Desktop/test.eps", StyleBox[ToBoxes@Sqrt[21/x], PrivateFontOptions -> {"FontType" -> "Outline"}]] This problem will be fixed in a future release of Mathematica. -Rob Wolfram Research
