This was very helpful. I had not seen this description in any of the

Not directly, but via an on-the-fly conversion into ps. I have transfig
installed and spaceless file and path names. But when I try to insert a

The funny thing is: After my attempt to insert the fig file, the
corresponding ps file has been created in the same directory and now I
could insert it a ps.
