Michael, thanks for the quick reply.

Yes you are right, by looking into the eps file I can see that the
fonts are embedded in there (as a side note does anybody know of a
convenient tool like pdffonts for eps?). So the problem is obviously
not with PyX. Apologies for bothering you guys then...

I will just need to figure something else out, as the text in my
figures does not show up in the merged pdf compiled from my tex file by
the system. I would prefer not to use a standard font for the figures,
as the rest of the article is in computer modern too. I use the
graphicx package to include the figures if it matters. 

Anyway these are problems I need to solve for myself, thanks for your
help and keep up the good work with PyX.

Chris
