Package: Grace
Version: 1:5.1.22-13
Hi Nicholas,
The recent source-hardening.diff patch appears to break SVG output
formatting. Please see the original bug report in Ubuntu [1].
In particular, take a look at the output obtained when running:
gracebat -hardcopy -hdevice SVG
I have attached a pair of files good.svg (from unpatched grace
source), and bad.svg (with source-hardening.diff applied). In the
bad.svg file, take a look at the end of the text
style=font-family:' lines... the contents of the tag is malformed
e.g. 0.2)0.2 on line 37 instead of just 0.2.
The relevant section of the source-hardening.diff patch is as follows.
Perhaps it's just that the format string is incorrect? At first
glance, it looks like it should be just %s rather than %s%s
because only one string is being passed to fprintf.
Thanks,
Alex
