Dear Mathematica users, I'm a Mathematica 3.01 user (using WinNT 4 SP3), and I didn't know if the "emmathfnt -- a tool for embedding Type 1 Math fonts in EPS files" (http://www.mathsource.com/Content/Enhancements/Graphics/General/0210-519) would work with EPS files generated by Mathematica 3, because the MathSource text just explains that it works with Mathematica 4 EPS files. After trying a lot, I realised that a simple correction in the EPS files (created by Mathematica 3) is enough : - open the EPS file using a text editor, go to the beginning, and find the lines that begin with "%%" and end with "(atend)", like these : %%Pages: (atend) %%DocumentNeededResources: (atend) - search for the occurrences of these lines without the "(atend)", for example : %%Pages: 1 %%DocumentNeededResources: font Math1Mono %%+ font Courier - then, move the latter to the former ones, i.e., move the lines which don't have "(atend)" to the beginning of the EPS file so that the lines with "(atend)" are replaced. This simple trick worked for all the EPS files, generated by "Display" or "Edit / Save Selection As... / EPS", that I tested. So, the program "emmathfnt" works embedding the fonts and creating a portable EPS file as it's expected.
