Hi,

I am experiencing problems in getting latex to read text I have
incorporated in xfig 2.1.6 (protocol:2.1) figures exported as .eepic files.

In particular, I am trying to use some math text in a diagram but
experimenting has shown me that the same problem occurs for any type of
text. The error message generated by LaTeX is as follows:


! Undefined control sequence.
<argument> {{\SetFigFont 
                         {12}{14.4}{rm}$n_h$}}
\makesm@sh #1->\setbox \z@ \hbox {#1
                                    }\finsm@sh 
\@imakepicbox ... \hbox to #1\unitlength {\mb@l #4
                                                  \mb@r }\mb@b }
\put ...length \hbox to\z@ {\kern #1\unitlength #3
                                                  \hss }\ignorespaces 
l.3 ...smash{{{\SetFigFont{12}{14.4}{rm}$n_h$}}}}}
                                                  

The input file that generated this message is:

\documentstyle[12pt,fullpage,amstex,amssymb,amsfonts,epsf,epic,eepic,eepicemu,rawfonts]{article}

\begin{document}

\begin{figure}
\input{ex.eepic}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

where ex.eepic is a xfig generated figure exported with eepic macros.

I would be very appreciative of any suggestions.

Thankyou,

Charles
