Re: Some issues

Lars,
	Happy new year to the list.

	I tried the cvs for dia, to see the effect of the fix
output changes.  Unfortunately, it seems to still have problems :-(

	I'm using xfig 3.2, I've attach the dia input, the mpost output (which
is good, except the size of the fonts do not match those in dia), and
the xfig output of pdftex.

	The problems with the fig export include:

	1. error messages on the file when invoking xfig
	2. missing arrow lines
	3. quoted text (I'm not sure how) but does not invoke
	   math mode when using pdflatex.

thanks,
Jon
