Rylek Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 HI. As i test Publisher for my use (technical books), im trireing importing some old project (to test what publisher can do for me right now ). and It seems that Publisher got problems with equasions created in mathtype 6.8 and are exported as .eps (no tiff preview, with tiff preview, with wmf preview) .wmf (but is not vector file.. corect me if im wrong) and .gif works fine. Also those files dont open in designer or photo. Those files works well in indesign and ilustrator. In attachment u can see .eps file and how is publisher see this file 123new.eps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petar Petrenko Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Hi, can you save it in PDF or some other (vector) format acceptable for Publisher?

mac_heibu Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Here is, how „my" Affinity Publisher displays the eps. (I think it is a font issue). but, as Petar said: Would be much better, if you use PDF instead of EPS (EPS is a last century format, which isn’t continued by its inventor Adobe).

MikeW Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 As MathType spits out eps files, it's extra work to convert them...even though I can process an entire folder of the things in X minutes. I would rather leave them as eps files. I get the same as the OP even with the fonts activated that I used in Word+MathType. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac_heibu Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 On a Mac it works – sort of. There is a font issue. Is MathType able to convert font to paths during output like every better application does? A_B_C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 No, there is no option in MT to convert to paths. I am ignorant if the other makers of Math add-ons for equations have the option to convert to paths either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mac_heibu Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Quote Well, not really Pdf is simply glorified eps. Not true. And you know it, I think. But who am I to prevent you using EPS. If you don’t need working(!!) font embedding (not vector converted and working, even if the font isn’t present on the machine), colour management, transparency, and, and, and – keep on using EPS.

MikeW Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 There is no need for color management in MT eps files. There is no transparency. They are always 100% K. Besides, the color management part comes at the output stage. Oh, wait. You were just talking about EPS in general... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petar Petrenko Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 YOu can export to WMF. Publisher accepts this format.
