export eps missing text elements

[Joaquin Rapela]

I have an eps figure that I generated in the program R (figureToImport.eps
attached), I imported it into Inkscape, I saved into an svg file (tmp.svg
attached), eps file (tmp.eps attached), and pdf file (tmp.pdf attached). The
problem is that the eps file, but not the svg or pdf files, are missing all
the text of the figure.

I am using Inkscape 0.48.3.1 r9886 (Mar 29 2012) on Linux.

Linux diogenes 3.2.0-26-generic #41-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jun 14 16:26:01 UTC 2012
i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

I am running cairo:

Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
|/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name Version Description
+++-==============-==============-============================================
ii libcairo2 1.10.2-6.1ubun The Cairo 2D vector graphics library

While exporting I am selecting "Convert text to paths," "Rasterize filter effects," and "Export area is drawing."
I should add that if I import the attached eps files into Adobe Illustrator
everything works well. But I would prefer to use free software. I am proud
of having built a complete research project with free software (Linux, R,
latex, ...) and I would not like to ruin my record for the generation of
the paper graphics :)

I would greatly appreciate any hint on the reasons and/or solution to this
problem.

Thanks in advance, Joaquin

Upstream bug in cairo 1.10, tracked for Inkscape in
- Bug #813886 “Save as EPS or PS incomplete with cairo >= 1.10”
 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/813886>

The text is present in EPS files exported with Inkscape 0.48.3.1 and cairo 1.12.2 (see attached file) - be it converted to path or embedded and subsetted as text (default).

Linking as duplicate to Bug #813886 - please add a comment here and revert the duplicate status if you don't agree and think these are different issues.

Cordially, Joaquin
