Manual page for ogonkify suggests -F to process xfig output at one place,
but has -XF example. -XF is unrecognized option, and -F does not work as
expected (the fonts are not recoded)
I tried ogonkify -F -ATH <input.ps >output.ps,
ogonkify -F -CTH <input.ps >output.ps and similar.

xfig version is Xfig 3.2 patchlevel 3a (Protocol 3.2)

It all depends on the version of xfig.
New xfig does not include %%Begin Prolog in the .ps exported
file, and ogonkify depends on it.
Solution is to use -M, which adds %%Begin Prolog to the ps file.

ogonkify -M -F -CT <input.ps  >output.ps
works, at least for me
(-CT is necessary to select fonts containing all letters).

Thanks for the renewed input on this a2ps/ogonkify bug.  Just to clarify,
which version of xfig did you use?

Xfig 3.2 patchlevel 3a (Protocol 3.2)

btw there is a new (0.7.1) version of ogonkify released, but it is not
different from 0.7.0 in this regard.

Thanks for the additional info. I hope Akim can comment on this. He surely
replies rather quickly, but I haven't heard from him on this and another bug
report.

Hi Akim, Hi Dirk,

This is a known limitation of ogonkify.  XFig output changed format at
some point, ogonkify only works with older versions.

Please see

http://www.dcs.ed.ac.uk/home/jec/programs/ogonkify/extending.html

for information on why this limitation won't be lifted.
