Dear Rafael
Thank you for this consultation.
However, I really do not feel like I can further support fig2sty.
There have been several patches in the past years that I have
not applied to the version on the fig2sty Web-Page.
Would you think I should remove the Web-page rather than leave
the old version there?
best regards

Hi Marcel,
I am forwarding below a bug report filed against the fig2sty package in
Debian. The bug submitter claims that this makes fig2sty work with
pdflatex and provides a patch. I did not test it. I would like to hear
your opinion before integrating this patch in the Debian package.
All the best,
Rafael

fig2sty does not work with pdflatex, and the background does not have
the same geometry as in xfig.
patch: better pt2fig-fig2pt, background in eps and pdf, and reasonable
default for baselineskip
