Changing graph font when exporting to EPS?

[JP Gauvin]

Hello all,

I'm working with a graphics designer for a publication and she uses Illustrator. Therefore, I want to export my graphs to the EPS format so that she can reformat them and use the company brand. She uses Freight Sans Pro, but bizarrely, if I export to EPS (using the default Helvetica), she tells me that after applying her font in Illustrator, the last letter of the labels has a space in front of it. She thinks it's because of the difference in width between Helvetica and Freight Sans Pro.

That being said, I downloaded a version of Freight and tried to export using the following command:

graph export test.eps, fontface("Freight")

But it still shows up as Helvetica. I have installed the font on both a Mac and a PC. I have tried many variations ("Freight"/"Freight Sans" etc) but it still shows up as Helvetica. Is it actually possible to use a different font from the PS lvl2 Core Set? Do I need to specify the font directory on Windows/Mac?

Or if I can't, is there any way I can export so that there isn't a weird space in front of the last letter in labels when switching it to Freight Sans Pro in Illustrator? Please note that I don't have Stata 15 yet, so I can't try to export as SVG.

Cheers,
JP Gauvin

You may benefit from reviewing within the output of help eps options the Note about PostScript Fonts section. I'm not being coy here, I really don't know if it will help but it appears relevant and you didn't mention seeing its advice.
