• If the DWG file contains a font that is not on your computer, the PANOSE font matching dialog box lets you replace the font with an

Encapsulated PostScript (EPS)
EPS files can contain text, vector graphics, and bitmaps and are intended to be included (encapsulated) in other documents. Unlike other
PostScript files, which can contain multiple pages, an EPS file is always a single page.
EPS files usually contain a preview image (header) that lets you view the file content without the help of a PostScript interpreter. An EPS file
without a preview image is displayed as a gray box in Corel applications.
You can import and export EPS files. You can import an EPS file as a group of editable objects as you would import any other PostScript (PS)
file. You can also bring the file as encapsulated, placing the preview image in the drawing window. The preview image is linked to the file. It
is recommended that you import an EPS file as encapsulated in the following situations:
• You want text in the EPS file to be displayed with the original fonts, without any font substitutions.
• You are working with a large EPS file, and you don’t want to slow down the application.
During the CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X8 installation, you have the option of installing Ghostscript, which is an application that interprets
the PostScript file format. Ghostscript allows you to import PostScript Level 3 files. If you did not install Ghostscript when you first installed
the product, you can do so now.

• Text — preserves text objects in the imported file so that you can edit the text
• Curves — converts text to curves
