Package: texlive-metapost
Version: 2007-12
Severity: important
Hi.
I am trying to create a diagram for a text of mine using metapost.
Unfortunately, when I typeset the following file (having the environment
variable TEX=latex), I can't see all the symbols: the square does not
appear (its position is blank), while the triangle *does* appear!
For compiling the figure below, I use the following sequence of commands:
mpost metapost-fail
a2ping metapost.1
xpdf metapost.pdf
Oh, BTW, one thing that didn't occur with tetex's a2ping is the emission
of warnings (I just discovered that it is a Perl script).
Thank you very much for any help, Rogério Brito.
