      Searched but haven't found this issue exactly. I've tried every permutation I can think of but when I reopen an EPS (created and saved in VS) the objects will import but not the text. The text areas are completely blank.

      On a MAC running Catalina.

      This is the test workflow:

      Created a file with basic shapes and a line of text.
      Saved as a VS file.
      Exported as an EPS file -- current art board, did not check vector text. As I understand it that should allow the text to be editable when the file is reopened.
      The file preview shows both the shapes and the text.
      Open the file and the only thing that imports are the shapes. Text is blank.

      Took the same file and exported with vector text checked off and the text does come back in as curves.

      Is there something that needs to be done in preferences or in the dialogue export box to make the text come back in without being converted to curves?

      Other than that I'm loving VS. Any help appreciated.

        looks like a bug to me

        on windows is even more worse
        no matter which variant I use
        no text appears in VS when i importing
        .eps files created this way
        .
        .
        Did export

        Selected objects, with and without vector text selected
        and
        Current Artboard, with and without vector text selected

        the text appears, in other programs

        I posted it in the bug section

        Win 11
        CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 9600X, 6-core.
        GPU: Nvidia Geforce RTX 5070.

          @black-hound This looks like a bug. Text importing issues might have to do with the font type (OpenType, TrueType, Adobe are supported).
          What was the font name in this case?

            @VectorStyler I tested with two font types:

            Times New Roman OTF and Zapfino TTF. Same result with both. Then I loaded the page with a mix of OTF and TTF from various foundries and none of the fonts imported back into VS from the EPS file.
