What about making an option to NewPdftricks for the font size (if you
have time enough, of course, and if it's possible) ? i.e, something
like
\usepackage[12pt]{pdftricks}
Up to know, even if the principal document begins with
"\documentclass[12pt]{article}", the header of each pdftricks file
("file-fig1.tex", "file-fig2.tex") still is "\documentclass{article}"
only, without the font size option :-( Hence the labels in the figures
are far too small...
I have found a workaround : I add "\fontsize{12pt}\selectfont" at the
beginning of each pspicture :
\begin{pdfdisplay}
\begin{pspicture}(0,0),(5,5)
\fontsize{12pt}\selectfont
....
\end{pspicture}
\end{pspicture}
But it's a bit annoying if you numerous pictures...
However, NewPdftricks remains the most reliable way (IMO) to get
pstricks pictures with pdflatex. For example, ps4pdf still works very
badly pst-3dplot, the pstricks package I use most of the time...
Best regards,
Franck Pastor
