It's a Dia problem.  We do not yet have the code for embedding fonts in
EPS files (except for dumping the whole font in, and that leads to a)
huge files and b) copyright problems), so only the 14 standard fonts are
used.  Unless you export as EPS using Pango fonts, in which case the
letters are turned into shapes -- which looks right, but then there's
other things you can't do with the EPS.
