Now, however, when I import it into my LaTeX document, all the alphabetic annotation (including decimal points) disappears from the axis annotations and from any text that I have included in the plot. When I view the .eps file using either Preview on the Mac or gv, it looks fine - nothing is missing.

Hi Barry,

Do you happen to have any old IDL EPS files that worked in the past? You could import those into LaTeX and see what happens. If they also fail then that eliminates IDL from the problem, and suggests that something else changed like TeXShop, your Mac install, or ghostscript.

Cheers,
Chris
