Unfortunately I'm not aware of any option that generates text into a plot file as text (.eps or otherwise) in autocad itself. You might have some luck with 3rd party software. I found one application that would convert DWG to PDF and would keep the truetype text as text in the PDF rather than line work as autocad normally would do. It looks like it has to be truetype text (not autocad fonts). And of course you would then need to convert to eps. See http://www.cadzation.com/home.htm for one such program. -Tim
