Package: fig2dev
Version: 1:3.2.9a-5
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I have the following minimal fig file:
#FIG 3.2 Produced by xfig version 3.2.9
#encoding: UTF-8
Landscape
Center
Metric
A4
99.00
Single
-2
1200 2
4 0 0 50 -1 4 60 0.0000 0 958 7403 3105 900 De Lèghe Polder\001
#4 0 0 50 -1 16 60 0.0000 4 958 7403 3105 1900 De Lèghe Polder\001
When I use fig2dev to convert it to PDF, the accent in the word "Lèghe" is
wrongly rendered as ˆ¤. (fig2dev -L pdf minimal.fig > minimal.pdf)
The file is in UTF-8 and so is my locale.
This does not happen if I change the line to the commented out line,
i.e. when
I use a similar PostScript font. Moreover, it also doesn't happen if I leave
the first line in!
Anyway, I had a drawing with LaTeX fonts and such an accent and it rendered
wrongly.
I would expect both LaTex and PostScript fonts to render correctly in
the PDF.
My workaround was to use a PostScript font instead (Helvetica instead of
Sans-Serif).
