[Ipe-discuss] Problem with text in the picture.

[Jacek Sobczak]

Hello,

First congratulations for such a beautiful piece of software !!!
My pictures were never that pretty. They would be even prettier if I
could include LaTeX text in them :-).

The following happens - I can generate pdf and eps files as long as
there is no text in them. It is enough to include just one text element
and it does not work anymore. When I say then "Run LaTeX" or "Save as
PDF" ipe starts pdflatex and freezes with 100% CPU usage.


What can I do about it ? Details follow ...

I have compiled ipe without KDE, with qt 3.3.3 and freetype 2.1.7 if it
matters.

Here is an example ipe xml file that causes described effect - a simple
drawing consisting of a rectangle with my name inside:

---------------- start "jacek.xml" ---------------------------
<ipe version="60022" creator="Ipe 6.0 preview 22" media="0 0 595 842">
<info created="D:20041017124838" modified="D:20041017125508"
bbox="cropbox"/>
<page gridsize="4">
<layer name="alpha"/>
<view layers="alpha" active="alpha"/>
<path layer="alpha" stroke="black" pen="normal">
0 0 m
80 0 l
80 32 l
0 32 l
h
</path>
<text stroke="black" pos="20 12" type="label" valign="bottom"
size="normal">Jacek</text>
</page>
</ipe>
------------ end "jacek.xml" -------------------------

And then files from the "~/.ipe/latexrun" directory:
---------- start "text.tex" ---------------------------
