>Environment:
3.3-R system with an up-to-date ports tree; dvipdfm-0.12.7 and teTeX-1.0.6
ports.
>Description:
Two problems:
1) dvipdfm choked on the figures in my TeX document, reporting that it
couldn't find " jabs-random-figure.eps" -- note the leading space. It
appears that one function is missing a call to the
whitespace-remover-o-matic.
2) once #1 was fixed, dvipdfm cored on a figure produced by tgif; it turns out
that dvipdfm was mis-identifying it as MetaPost postscript since the third
line, "%%Title: graph1:", is shorter than the string "%%Creator: MetaPost",
which was tripping up the comparison routine.
>How-To-Repeat:
Write a LaTeX document with an EPS figure made from tgif, and embedded with
the "\psfig{figure=...}" command. Try dvipdfm on it.
