Bob,

 I also noticed that \tau in figures now shows at "au" instead of the greek letter
tau. Will those packages fix that as well?

 Thanks,

OK; I got an error message:

title("\tau")
"warning: ft_render: skipping missing glyph for character '       '"
 
Not sure what to do. Thanks,
philip

Philip,

I think that "missing glyph" means it can't find, or you don't have, the appropriate fonts
installed. I would think that in a complete LaTex installation, you should have
everything installed. Also I think that "fltk" is not quite mature yet. One thing you
could try is to switch to gnuplot with "graphics_toolkit" and see if the \tau shows up
properly. If the \tau shows up on the gnuplot, then there may be a configurstion issue
or a bug with fltk. I can't help there.

Bob (and group),

Even with gnuplot, I get the ft_render error for missing glyph.

octave:11> graphics_toolkit gnuplot

warning: ft_render: skipping missing glyph for character `    '
warning: ft_render: skipping missing glyph for character `    '

I installed the packages Bob ( epstool, pstoedit, and fig2dev ) recommended and I still get the __fltk_redraw__() error. I'm guessing (bob recommended in a direct email) there is a problem with LaTeX. I tried grepping through the config.log but I'm not sure what I am looking for.

thanks for the help,

thanks,
