I just tried to install xfig on OS 10.6.2 using fink and it seemed to be
working fine. Unfortunately when I try to change fonts on text objects it
always goes back to default. All font packages seem to be installed
correctly. I also found a posting with the exact same problem at
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg31785.html
 (pasted below)
But nobody had answered with a solution. Any help at this point would be
appreciated.

I can reproduce the error on 10.6 (32-bit and 64-bit).  For me,
PostScript fonts don't work, but LaTeX fonts do.

Me too. As usual when using xfig, I was in too much of a hurry to report when I encountered this a couple of months ago. I worked around it by editing the .fig file by hand and changing the number that corresponds to the font. Changes made that way stick, so long as you don't try to update it within xfig. I worked out which numbers to change from older .fig files I made under 10.5.

A fix would be much appreciated here, too.

thanks,
