Problem Importing Graphics + Text

Word 2004 will consistently lost certain fonts (substituting
Helvetica) when importing a vector graphic with text that has been
created with OmniGraffle
(http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omnigraffle/) or EasyDraw
(http://www.eazydraw.com/). Is there something that can be done with
Word's settings to correctly import the font?

I think the result may depend on the Omnigraffle version and the export
method. Although my Word seems to be turning a decent pdf export from
graffle into a bitmap.

I get good results by exporting a selection from Graffle as eps. On
screen in Word, the eps that Graffle 2.2 exports has no preview, but
prints to postscript properly. Of course exporting from graffle as tiff
of suitably high resolution will look ok on screen and paper, at the
price of large document files. Later Graffles export eps with a
preview, but Word v.X has problems with printing eps previews instead
of the eps under some circumstances.

Either way, I can't bring on the font substitution you are seeing.
Would you care to post more detail of export method and Word and
OmniGraffle versions.
