** ERROR ** Could not find encoding file "H".

solution:

sudo apt-get install cmap-adobe-japan1

No file C40song.fd.
solution:
sudo apt-get install latex-cjk-japanese latex-cjk-japanese-wadalab

open file as euc-jp in emacs:

C-x ret r

euc-jp

yes

eps crop

solution 1
gs -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -q -sDEVICE=bbox img.eps
and replace the bounding box of the file with the two lines obtained

solution 2 (the font may become ugly)
ps2pdf img.eps img.pdf
pdfcrop img.pdf imgc.pdf
pdf2ps imgc.pdf imgc.eps

inkscape does not export text in eps

save as pdf
ps2ps img.pdf img.ps

save selection as... eps

ps2pdf -dEPSFitPage-sPAPERSIZE=jisb0  formula.eps formula.pdf
(note: -dDEVICEWIDTHPOINTS=595 -dDEVICEHEIGHTPOINTS=16712 instead of -sPAPERSIZE=jisb0 seems to produce white text on white bg)
