[texhax] LaTeX and Type 1 fonts in Illustrator 10 under Windows ME

[Ali m Niknejad]

Has anyone been able to resolve this problem.  It's quite annoying not 
being able to re-open files.  I find that if I just edit the file, I can 
import the EPS file with no problems.  But in the process of re-opening 
the file in Illustrator, the fonts get screwed up.

Thanks,

Ali
