Hi Javier,

I found your issue interesting because I have just recently completed an article (using TeXmacs of course) about the issues involved with including images in TeXmacs documents by insertion or linking. I am not sure what the best way would be to ensure this is disseminated to the TeXmacs users and developers that are interested in my experience and recommendations regarding this issue.

So, for any TeXmacs users or developers of the mailing lists that are receiving this reply message, if you wish me to send you a PDF copy of this article about the issues of image TeXmacs inclusion, please reply to me from this email message. The article discusses the issues involved with image inclusion as well as a recommended workflow for this purpose as well as some useful background information. It applies to almost all of the main images formats that may be of interest.

Best wishes.

David E. Miller

Hello,

I need to work on a number of documents I created several years ago. The last
time I edited them it was on 2010. These documents have a mixture of figures,
most of them are .eps created using Inkscape and .fig created using the old
and reliable xfig.

It seems that there are a lot of problems with .fig figures (images not
showing, size changes). I'm using TeXmacs 1.0.7.19 for Mac. My machine runs
Mac OS 10.8.3. I have a few questions:

a) Older versions of TeXmacs have the same problem? I could work with an
older version. I tried to install TeXmacs using Fink but it seems that there
is a problem and it doesn't install.

b) For years I used the pre-QT version and one useful thing was reading the
messages on the console. Sometimes your learnt what the problem was (maybe
something was missing…). Is there a console or something where I could look
for that information? I looked for it in the Console.app, but nothing seems
to be there.

c) Has the Linux version the same problems with .fig files? I'm ready to
create a virtual machine, install Ubuntu and use that until a new version is
released.

Thanks for your kind help,

Javier
