Package: xfig
Version: 1:3.2.5-rel-2
2008/5/22 Loïc Grenié <[email protected]>:
Hi,
I find pspdftex a very useful export option for Xfig. Unfortunately it
does not work for me because it does not take into account
the "special" flag for text. I've followed the code flow and I think the
reason is that the languages used for the "ps" and "pdf" part
are respectively "eps" and "pdf" while they should be "pstex"
and "pdftex".
I've found that this patch helps (me) a lot because it uses "pstex"
and "pdftex" instead of "eps" and "pdf". In addition I've done some
minor code cleanup. Looking at earlier bug fixes of xfig, I understand
that adding a "-b 0" option to the fig2dev commands might be useful,
but I don't know.
I took the liberty to write to B. V. Smith directly about this bug
including the attached patch.
Thank you,
Loïc Grenié

In the meantime this is implemented and in a second step fixed upstream:
Patchlevel 5c (August, 2013)
[...]
o When exporting to combined PS/PDF/LATEX the -D option to exclude
all but active layers was not passed to fig2dev
[...]
Patchlevel 5a (Mar 16, 2009):
[...]
o When exporting to all three: PostScript, PDF and TeX, incorrectly
generated PostScript and PDF that included LaTeX-only (special)
text
[...]
