I switched from xfig 3.2.5 to 3.2.9-2build3. I had figures with user-defined text colors. The text is showing up (if one can call it showing up) in white, barely visible. If I change the text colour to one of the standard xfig colours, that works fine, but I have a large number of figures with user-defined colours. Could not find a solution on the net. Suggestions?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce. On my machine version 3.2.9a correctly shows text and objects in user colors, while version 3.2.9 has white text. Also, above Mahesh Patil mentioned that compiling from sources with the patch applied mended the issue. Could it be, that you compiled from sources, but then called the old binary? Apart from such small, but effective errors, I am out of further ideas.

I have the same issue.
I also have experienced that issue. I have opened ticket [#180] to track the state of user-defined text color.

Thank you. The patch worked (thanks to a generous colleague who downloaded the xfig source code, changed the suggested lines, and compiled it for me)
This is still an issue in xfig 3.2.9-5 (packaged with Fedora 41).
It is the choice of distributions which version is shipped. This can not be influenced from upstreams.
The most recent download from sourceforge, xfig 3.2.9a, also has this problem.
