1. When I export in EPS format (Outline Fonts), text in Arial 9 pt prints as Arial 8.2 pt. It is NOT a simple scaling problem, as the frame size of the plot prints correctly (I've set Export Settings/Advanced/Keep Size, and Image Size/page ratio/100).
2. Although Outline Fonts and Built-in Fonts produce EPS files that appear the same, when I import the Built-in Fonts EPS into e.g. Adobe Illustrator, the character spacing appears uneven and prints unevenly. Not so, of course, with Outline Fonts.
Any advice?

| Possibly the text is attached to a layer and the layer is scaling attached objects. Look in Format : Layer : Display and check 'Fixed Factor' in 'Scale Elements'. Make sure the factor is 1. |

| Thanks for this, but Fixed Factor is 1. The frame of the plot is correct (to within 1 mm). It's just the lettering that's 9/8.2 times larger than expected. |

| Correction to my post of 09/30/2009: the Origin font is smaller, by 8.2/9, not larger. |

Hi,
I'd like to try and revive this thread. I'm having exactly the same problem (v7.5): exported eps has the correct absolute scaling (layer size, etc), *except* the fonts are slightly too small (same 8.2/9 factor as the OP).
I need to put an Origin eps with graphs next to a Matlab eps with the same axis and font sizing, so this is rather annoying. I tried up-scaling the font sizes, but Origin does not want non-integer values.
I guess I will have to down-size my absolute Layer Area entries by 91% and tweak my Export Ratio settings from 100% -> 110%... not so nice.
I assume font point sizes are standardized (all my other programs agree on the font size when I export/import)... is this an Origin bug?!
Regards, MT |

Hi,
I have exactly the same problem:
Fonts in EPS export are too small by a facto 8.3/9. For example, a 9pt Times font in Origin apperas as 8.3 pt large font if the EPS is imported in any other program. All other sizes of the diagram are correct in absolute values.
PS:
Origin 8.6SR3
Options-Page-Ratio = 100
Layer-Display-FixedFactor = 1
Page Size 8 cm * 6 cm , exported to EPS 8 cm * 6cm

Ha!
Setting Fixed Factot in Layer/Dsiaply (Layer-Anzeige-Fester Faktor, German version) to 1.08 (9/8.3) works perfectly! Strange ...
It seems that Origin fonts are too small by this factor compared to other Windows programs.
- Checked with EPS Import into CorelDraw 14
- Checked with EPS in Latex with EPS in original size, compared to Latex Times font (mathptmx) |

Hi,
I have tried a 9 pt text label(in Arial) in an Origin graph to print out in ways:
1) printing out from directly from Origin 8.6 graph
2) printing out from GhostView (GSVIEW ver.5.0) on the EPS file, which was exported from Origin 8.6.
3) printing out from MS Word for the same text
They show the exact same in print size.
GhostView is fairly reliable in my experience.
Also, you can try the latest Origin 8.6.

Hi labNerd and laserjock,
There was a problem in older version with font size, so if you are working with a graph created in older versions, then do the following:
1> Make the graph page active
2> Use the menu item Graph->Convert to Standard Font Size
This menu item will be available only if the graph was created in older versions, and will be grayed out for newer graphs.
If the graph was older, and your menu item is available, does the problem get resolved after you invoke this menu item?
If you still see the issue (with new graphs, or after invoking this menu on old graph), then please send us your Origin project.

Wrong font size in EPS with Page Ratio 100
