[OS X TeX] Turning eps to pdf problems

Just on a hunch, when I try:
file testfonts.eps

this is the result:
testfonts.eps: DOS EPS Binary File Postscript starts at byte 30  
length 28101 TIFF starts at byte 28131 length 17562

You might want to try to output an ASCII Postcript file, if that is  
an option. ps2pdf14 works just fine, but I'm not sure you will get  
the correct bounding box.
