In the PostScript file generated by 'f2ps', the BoundingBox information is
incorrect. The numbers in the BoundingBox specification are incorrectly
expressed relative to the upper-left corner of the page, with the
y-coordinate increasing downward. They should be expressed relative to the
lower-left, with the y-coordinate increading upward.
For example, given a figure located in the upper-left corner of the page,
'f2ps' generated a BoundingBox of "9 9 261 261", when it should have
generated "9 531 261 783".
This problem prevents figures drawn with 'xfig' from being incorporated
into Scribe documents without some manual repair work being performed on
the PostScript file.
