That sounds very strange.
It's not supposed to happen that way.

What fonts are included in the graphics ?
Can you post one of your .eps graphics,
as an example for others to look at and test?

I'd have expected that to be the default, unless there
are some config files on your system that specify otherwise.
This may depend upon the specific fonts that the graphic
provides or requests.
