[fptex] Re: dvipdfm

> It seems so! I have experimented some more and here I send you a possible
problematic example (``figs.tex'' + ``xfignn.ps'')! I suspect that the PS
output from my favourite statistical system (R, current version: 1.8.0) is
kind of peculiar -- I firstly noticed strange behaviour of dvipdfm when I
was trying to compile a *.pdf, containing only plots obtained from R. The
output was:

I had just fixed that bug on my on, here its the lines you need to change
into your texmf-var/dvipdfm/config.cfg

D
"gswin32c -q -sPAPERSIZE=a0 -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=1.2 -dUse
FlateCompression=true -dNOPAUSE -sOutputFile=%o %i -c quit"

    INSTEAD OF

D "epstopdf  --outfile=%o --nocompress %i"

and

V3
     INSTEAD OF

V 2

It seemes that dvipdf don't accept -- option of dvipdfm but if you ues
only - it doesn't work too. I don't know why? epstopdf perfectly works on
your own.
