Math characters in eps graph files

Postby cel » Wed Aug 07, 2013 7:41 am

i've noticed that if i choose the mathematica fonts option in an eviews graphi can insert math charaters (e.g., lambda).

when i save the resulting file as an eps and then include in a tex file, i find the maths format has vanished. For example the lambda which showed up correctly as the Greek symbol under the eviews graph, shows up as just "l" when i compile that same graph in a latex document.

is there a way to fix this?

Thanks.

How does the eps file look when viewed in a eps viewer? Note: You may need to download a eps viewer such as http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/.

My advice would be to embed a png of the graph into your tex document. This unfortunately may require you to use a different TEX compiler but at least then you can guarantee the graph will look the same as what as on the screen. The problem with eps is, it needs to be compiled and different compilers can yield different images.
