Xfig works terribly on the RS/6000s. Can anything be done about it?
Bug reports like this are pretty much useless. Unless you are
specific about the way in which you believe xfig "works terribly," it
is difficult for us to respond to your complaints.
If you are talking about the fact that many of the bitmaps are
off-center and much of the text appears as blobs rather than as
readable text, no, nothing can be done about it, at least not until
Athena starts using a newer X server on the RS/6000's, because the
problem is an X server bug and not a bug with xfig.
