TeeJayR Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Because I realized it is not that I just have not found the feature but it really is not existant I want to request the feature here again. It would be easy to implement exporting text as true text (and not paths) in EPS (at least as an export option). This would not only make the EPS file smaller in size when using a lot of text but also make it possible to loss-less edit or replace the text in other applications (e.g. using psfrag in latex).

TeeJayR Posted December 24, 2016 Author Share Posted December 24, 2016 I noticed that Inkscape for example can go even a step further and produce a latex file with the text replacements together with the EPS export in place! That is also really nice, although not that important to have compared to the pure "text as text" option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxhack Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 +1 for the first and second suggestion. Would be absolutely great to create high quality Text Publications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJayR Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 Btw, same holds for importing EPS with text in it, which is currently also imported as paths and not as editable text. And so far not even a response from Afinity Designer team? Come on, these are basic features for a design software like this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH2240 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 *Bump* This would be a really useful feature for Latex integration for e.g. scientific publications. I'd love to be able to encode maths in my diagrams that gets rendered properly in Latex! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drbthree Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 +1 I don't know how difficult this is to add, but this would make Affinity Designer so much more useful for me with my LaTeX workflow. Affinity Designer makes very nice human-readable EPS files (much better than the competition), but forcing all text to be converted to paths is inefficient and undesirable in some cases. An option to "export text as text" vs "export text as paths" for EPS files would be greatly appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
