What were you trying to do?
	Update my graph (done over a couple of years.)


What's wrong:
	As mentioned in previous bug reports, it fails to put the text on the
graph.  It shows up in the preview window, but when viewed with gv or printed, there
is no text.  I quickly scanned through the postscript output, and the words are in the
file, just not displayed.  This would hint at a buc in their postscript driver code.

Also, after printing and closing the graph, I now can't open it again.  I get a screenful of
errors that look like this:
 Character '\125' not supported in font.  Discarded.
                                                                  
                                                                   Warning: 
                                                                                Name: Text
                                                                                              Class: XmTextField



What should have happened:
	Xess should have fixed this bug that I reported a number of years ago.
