[Ipe-discuss] Running Ipe on Mac OS X 10.5

Wed Dec 3 02:48:22 CET 2008

Okay, I finally fixed this problem (which I found primarily in /usr/ 
lib), but I have now encountered another.

Ipe seems to be making the CropBox too small, so part of my equation  
is cut off. Consider this example:

This seems to be happening with just text, not drawings. I cannot find  
out how to use the ArtBox instead. I would like the image to be  
cropped because I will be using them primarily in documents.

Thanks for the help,

Kelly
