#25458: xfig-3.2.5 does not recognize special characters ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Reporter: lawrence.ong@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: update | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.9.1 Keywords: | Port: xfig ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Changes (by ryandesign@…): * cc: lawrence.ong@… (removed) * cc: ryandesign@… (added) Old description:
When exporting to all three: PostScript, PDF and TeX, using File > Export
Combined PS/PDF/LaTeX, xfig incorrectly generates PostScript and PDF that included LaTeX-only (special) text
Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a new figure in xfig, draw a circle. 2. Select T (text) input on the left menu, on the bottom row click on Text Flags and select Special Flag to Special. 3. Click somewhere in the circle and type $\pi$ 4. Save figure as toto.fig, then go to File > Export > Combined PS/PDF/LaTeX. The generated files toto_pspdftex.eps and toto_pspdftex.pdf should contain just the circle, but they also contain $\pi$. The third file: toto.pspdftex is correct.
This is a known problem and has been resolved. See bugs fixed for Patchlevel 5a: http://www.xfig.org/art17.html
But the version in MacPorts still has this problem.
