🚀 go-pugleaf

I have seen illustrations where the type was positioned by using 
tracking. IOW, instead of using a tab to move the copy to the right, the 
copy was tracked some huge number, like +5000. This has the effect of 
increasing the length of the text path, *even beyond the end of the last 
character on the line*. If the last character on the extreme right side 
of an illustration has a huge tracking number, Illustrator will include 
that character's path when it computes the EPS bounding box, making the 
bounding box artificially large.

The right way to fix this is to remove the tracking and set tabs, but 
the quick and dirty way to fix it is to convert to outlines, because 
outlines have no text path that can artificially inflate the bounding box.

No idea if this is what you're experiencing.
