Thanks. Easy fix - I actually just added a second text element to force "tdi_local" up a bit, and cropped the helper text out with GIMP after exporting the PNG. Odd little bug.
Forgot: xfig 3.2 patchlevel 5a running under RHEL.
Underscores are not showing up. From the .fig source: 4 0 0 50 -1 18 12 0.0000 4 165 270 150 1500 tdi\001 4 0 0 50 -1 18 12 0.0000 4 210 885 4800 3000 tdi_local\001 # here's the underscore 4 0 0 50 -1 18 12 0.0000 4 165 345 7650 1500 tdo\001 Screencap of exported image attached. Is this a known bug, or am I missing a configuration setting?
