Solutions To Problems With psfrag

The psfrag package for LaTeX is used to ensure that the fonts in figures are the same as those in the main text of the document. Some people have had problems getting it to work with the newer teTeX installation of LaTeX. These problems are most likely to be caused by using the ``epsf'' package. This package is old and has been superseded by the ``graphicx'' package, but if you must use epsf, then it must be loaded before psfrag. I.e., in LaTeX 2e the lines

\usepackage{epsf} \usepackage{psfrag}

must appear in that order, and in LaTeX 2.09 epsf must appear before psfrag in the \documentstyle[...,epsf,psfrag,...] command.

Note that the figures will not look correct in xdvi; there will be a vertical list of symbols entitled ``Psfrag Replacements'' next to them. You will have to run dvips on the file and look at it with ghostview or print it out to see how it will look in its final form.

There appears to be some trouble with centering which I have not yet tracked down. This can be fixed by replacing \epsfbox commands by \includegraphics (and loading the graphicx package at the beginning of your file) or by latexing the file on one of the Linux machines.
