Comment 4 for bug 873175

> I wonder how I can tell which font has an Italic style?

E.g. with Font Book (see attached screenshot). The comments in bug #200899 might provide further info.

A workaround (for now): don't use the export option to convert text to path, do the conversion using menu 'Path > Object to Path' for the affected text objects before saving a copy as EPS (don't save the SVG file after saving a copy as EPS because otherwise you won't be able to edit the text as text later on).
