eps export: problems with superscript, vertical text

I don’t need to do this sort of typesetting, but as a test, I inserted some Greek text and a fraction from the Character Palette, made the text vertical, changed the leading, shifted the baselines of the fraction and saved as an EPS. The EPS opened (unchanged) in several different programs, as an uneditable picture. I managed to open the vertical text (by copying and pasting) in a word processor. All the characters survived, but the leading and baseline shift did not.

Another way is to convert the text to outlines, save as a PDF and open in a drawing program (this works in Illustrator 8) and Save as an EPS (an Intaglio EPS isn’t the same as Illustrator EPS!). If the receiving program supports the Adobe convention, that could be part of the problem.
