It seems that I have discovered some problems with XFig. :(
I have tried this simple test.
$ /usr/bin/xfig &
then I have drawn a box with 'Rectangular BOX drawing (b)'. After this,
I have saved the figure (with: File | Save 'test.fig', it is attached).
Now if I exit from XFig and restart it (/usr/bin/xfig &), trying to
'Open' (Meta-O) 'test.fig', I got the error:
=============
File test.fig:
Figure resolution or coordinate specifier missing in line 5.
======================
Examining 'test.fig' with an editor, the line 5 contains: 100,00. So I
remembered that I have
$ echo $LANG
it_IT.UTF-8
(I do not know which Windows application has set that as system env.
variable.)
I tried to change 100,00 ==> 100.00 (test2.fig), but still did work. So
I have tried
$ export LANG=us_US.UTF-8
Now, when I start XFig, I got
$ /usr/bin/xfig &
$ Warning: locale not supported by C library, locale unchanged
but, repeating all the above, XFig seems to work correctly: I can create
and read, with XFig, 'test3.fig' (though, XFig still does not read
test2.fig!).
So, it remains to clarify WHY, with LANG=it_IT.UTF-8, it does not work
right.
Ciao,
Angelo.
