importing latex typeset equations into illustrator


[ Follow Ups ] [ Post Followup ] [ Adobe Illustrator Talk ] [ FAQ ]

Is there any way to import latex created text and equations into illustrator. Whether we convert the latex originating dvi file into standard encapsulated postscript or convert into straight postscript and from there convert to adobe style postscript using ghostscript's ps2ai utility, it still gets mangled. The problem seems to be that illustrator ignores the font size information so that everything gets overwritten as something that looks like 36 point whilst still having the original spacing (very messy). Of course that's not too bad if the document is made of characters all the same size but for equations that's not generally the case. Ghostscript shows the files to look fine so how do I get illustrator to understand?

cheers
Tony
