The PS issue has been fixed and below is the patch for PostScript.java
around line 897
// combine all features of port text with color of
the port
TextDescriptor descript =
portPoly.getTextDescriptor();
if (descript == null)
descript =
TextDescriptor.TextType.EXPORT.getFactoryTextDescriptor();
TextDescriptor portDescript = pp.getTextDescriptor
(Export.EXPORT_NAME).withColorIndex(descript.getColorIndex());
Poly.Type type = descript.getPos().getPolyType();
portPoly.setStyle(type);
String portName = pp.getName();
