Denis, If you are building a new "printing system" around EPS at this time, you are at least ten years behind the times. Photoshop and Illustrator (as well as InDesign) produce the "same" EPS files, all complying with the PostScript Language Reference for PostScript 3. EPS is simply a subset of PostScript. However, each version of each of these programs may use different ways of achieving similar effects using PostScript. They all have their own way of defining and using procedures to achieve same. And they all use comments in the PostScript stream to define the original objects in Illustrator or Photoshop native files. The print industry has already moved on to PDF; you should also. In terms of embedding fonts in an EPS file, you would need to consult the PostScript Language Reference for such information. - Dov
