Hi Hez, Just to clarify, the above comment was directed at Hazen, but if you want to also have a go at comparing cairo.c and psttf.cc to find the bug, that would be fine. As the other core developers know, I am in the peculiar position of having a good overview of PLplot through its build system and python interface, but I am not really that comfortable with C or C++. Thus, for core C library or device driver bugs such as you have found my role is mostly restricted to testing and confirming such issues while cheering on others to actually fix them.
