How do I get the Mathematica fonts to be included in EPS files?

In Mathematica 4.2.1 and later, Export automatically embeds the Mathematica fonts in EPS files. To suppress this, you can add the option:

ConversionOptions -> {"IncludeSpecialFonts" -> False}

to your Export command.

In versions prior to Mathematica 4.2.1, the EPS files created by Mathematica do not automatically include the special fonts necessary for typeset expressions. If you're going to print an EPS file, you will need to manually download these special fonts.

If you are not using any special typesetting features, you might want to see the page on generating graphics that don't require the fonts.

Also, there is an unsupported Mathematica Information Center item that allows users to embed the fonts into their EPS files.
