Look at Out[2], above. It says 7.0, but I'm pretty sure that the onl= y version of Mathematica on my machine is 7.0.1. > How did you confirm that the \[FilledSquare] character wasn't there? Double-clicking the EPS file brings up Preview. It's not there in Preview. It also is not there in Illustrator. As for a workaround, Export["tmp.eps", ListPlot[{1}, PlotMarkers -> {\[FilledSquare]}]] works j > I tried > opening the resulting image in GhostScript, which showed it without a pro= blem. > However, for example, I know that there have been problems with Adobe > Illustrator not being able to properly interpret some EPS generated by > Mathematica.
