usetex = True + eps output -> letters are only curves

Community matplotlib-users

Hi,

if I create an eps from a matplotlib chart with

matplot.rc('font', size=fsize, family='serif', serif='Computer Modern
Roman')
matplot.rc('text', usetex = True)
matplot.rc('text.latex', unicode = True)

then I can't mark the letters in eps viewer. And I can't search for letters
and words in the eps. It seems, the letters are curves in the eps. Why? If I
create a pdf, I can mark letters and words an I can search too.

How I can create an eps output with embedded font and "real" letters?

Set the ps.fonttype to "42", which will embed the entire font. ps.fonttype = 3 (the default) subsets the font to only the characters used in the plot, and stores them as curves for maximum portability.
