transfig for DEBIAN ------------------- Metafont support ================ If you want to use the mf (metafont) output language, you need the grafbase.mf (not graphbase.mf!), which is available from CTAN: graphics/mfpic/source/grafbase.mf CGM support =========== To use the -b (binary) option for CGM export, the ralcgm program is required. This is currently not available as a Debian package, but you may download the sources from ftp://ftp.cc.rl.ac.uk/pub/graphics/ralcgm/ pstex ===== There are many people heaving problems with the pstex driver. The problem is, that newer versions of transfig need \usepackage{color} to work with pstex. So simply add \usepackage{graphicx} and \usepackage{color} to your LaTeX file before using pstex and everything should work correct. Big LaTeX fonts =============== If you want to use LaTeX fonts bigger than 42pt, you have to add \usepackage{type1cm} to your LaTeX file, which switches over to the Type1 vector fonts, that are available in all sizes.
