converting text to path requires TextFX which is in the Pro version. I've used it on linux and found it to be working. I just did it and when I switched to the point editor tool the curve points were all available for editing.
The Amiga version didn't convert fonts to curves in the postscript (that would be TextFX again). I've edited the text in the postscript output before and can assure you that the text frames were text.
I seem to remember the EPS in PDF output being a known problem, but I'd have to look to be sure. I rarely use EPS these days (just the nature of what I'm doing) so I haven't encountered it.
