Gibberish text when importing text 'as text', in .eps and .pdf files

Hi all,

I have created an .eps figure in MATLAB that contains text (labels, title, legend etc.). I would like to import it to CorelDraw such that the text will be editable.

Disclaimer: I think that the .eps file is not corrupted, since it easily opens with Adobe Illustrator, with fully editable text:

When I try to import the file into CorelDraw ( using the 'Import as Text'), the text shown as Gibberish:

which I workaround by changing the whole figure font to Arial or Calibri. But then the negative numbers are flipped with the minus sign, and the text is highlighted with green when selected. As a result it responds inconsistently to changes (similar to left-to-right issues).

Here is the test.eps file, if any of you would like to try and reproduce the error:

My specs:

• windows 10
• CorelDRAW 2017 (64bit)
• MATLAB 2017a.

What I tried (and failed :\ ):

• Save .eps with different fonts
• Save to .pdf instead of .eps
• Open the .eps with AI, re-save as .eps or .pdf and import to CorelDRAW.
• Play around with text options 

I prefer working in CorelDRAW instead of AI, so any help would be appreciated.
