In `Plot`, I would like to use my own font, eg [Inconsolata](http://www.levien.com/type/myfonts/inconsolata.html), for operators such as ×, so I set `OperatorSubstitution` to `False` as follows.

```
Plot[
  x,
  {x, 0, 10^10},
  BaseStyle -> {PrivateFontOptions -> {"OperatorSubstitution" -> False}}, 
  LabelStyle -> {FontFamily -> "Inconsolata"}
]

```

There are three vector formats into which I can export the figure: SVG, EPS, and PDF. Only the SVG export gives the correct result, ie the character × is in the font specified. The others have the following issues. My first question is: **Are they bugs?**

* PDF export: operators are omitted altogether.
* EPS export: the instruction of setting `OperatorSubstitution` is omitted, ie font substitution for operators still occur.

I'm using Mathematica 9 for Mac.

My second question is: **Is there any way to work around the issue with PDF export?**
