Comment 17 for bug 55273

I agree with Sebastian. Inkscape should be the software replacing xfig but unfortunatly because of this bug I cannot tell to anyone to use it. Last week my wife did have a discussion in her lab to choose the tools they will need for publication. They are looking at something to replace the adobe suite but because of stupid bug like this there are big chance they will stay on windows + adobe and honestly it's very difficult to blame them.

This bug is present since gutsy. A workaround has been found (recompile pstoedit) but this time it doesn't seem to be enough.
