Font problems in XFIG
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:11:35 EST
Description of problem: I ran yum update this morning, and I think some xfig package was updated. When wanting to edit my xfig-figures i cannot make the Norwegian letters ÃÃÃ work anymore. A couple of days ago they worked fine, so I think they relate to the update. When entering "xfig -international" in the terminal, the Norwegian letters work for Times-Roman, but not for the other fonts. Strange symbols are produced instead of. I recall this being a problem in XFIG looong time ago too. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xfig 3.2, patchlevel 4 (Protocol 3.2) How reproducible: Start XFIG and try to enter Norwegian letters Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start XFIG and 2. try to enter Norwegian letters 3. Actual results: No Norwegian letters work in XFIG. By entering "xfig - international" in a terminal, they work for Times-Roman, but produce stange symbols for the other fonts. Expected results: Nowegian letters enabled Additional info:
Short intro, I've recently become co-maintainer of xfig and I'm working my way through al the open xfig bugs. I cannot reproduce this ø (the only norwegian char I can come up with) and also things like ü ë ß all work fine, this is with a vastly newer xfig though, which also has seen several font related fixes. So I'm going to close this as worksforme. Please reopen this if you still have problems using xfig-3.2.5-5, which will show up in updates-testing for F-7 and F-8 soon (within a few days usually) To install it do: yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update xfig
