Package: fig2ps
Version: 1.5-1
Severity: normal
The attached Xfig file generates an error when trying to convert it to
anything with one of the fig2* programs, e.g. using
fig2eps --forcespecial test.fig
The generated tex file shows ^A control characters, which latex complains
about:
File: job-001.fig2dev.ps Graphic file (type eps)
<job-001.fig2dev.ps>
! Text line contains an invalid character.
l.24 ...fault}{\color[rgb]{0,0,0}$M_+^\epsilon$^^A
4 0 0 50 -1 0 12 0.0000 6 ...
A funny symbol that I can't read has just been input.
Continue, and I'll forget that it ever happened.
When the "special" flags are set in the document itself, no error occurs.
Best,
Jaap
