>Description:
The current version of transfig (print/transfig) incorrectly positions
Latex text relative to the figure in PS/Latex output format in certain
cases (e.g., when the text extends to the left of the figure). I
reported this to Brian Smithe, the maintainer, who sent a fix.
>How-To-Repeat:
Create a "special" string with TeX text that extends to the left of
the leftmost point of a figure, and export it in PS/Latex format.
When included in a TeX document, the text and figure will not be
correctly aligned (drawing displaced too far to the right).
>Fix:
From Brian Smith, who said of the patch:
This excludes special text from pstex bounding box calculation,
which was causing alignment problems with special text and the figure.
