Dear Andrew, thanks for the quick reply. My plplot version is 5.9.9 and I use the current cairo driver on Ubuntu12.10. I tried plplot example02 with a full valgrind memory leak check. Same problem for the plptex function. With "just"=0.0 no problem, with "just" any different number the following valgrind output (as an example). Line 152 is the plptex function: plptex( 0.5, 0.5, 1.0, 0.0, 0.5, text );
