I'm running OzTeX 1.42 on a Mac IIsi with system 7.0.1*, with the BoxedEPSF
PostScript inclusion package. I save the files and print them on an HP
DeskWriter using Freedom of Press Lite 3.0.1. This *used* to work, but
lately, I'm seeing the effect that the PostScript figures aren't being
scaled properly. I tested this with the \ShowDisplacementBoxes command in
BoxedEPSF. Example:
-----------------------------
| |
| ****************** | "-","|" edge of paper
| * * | "*" position of figure
| * ..... * | "." displacement box
| * . . * | (where OzTeX
| * ..... * | thinks the figure
| * text text text * | is)
| ****************** |
| |
| |
etc.
Note that the figure as printed covers up the text below the displacement
box. This is incredibly annoying, and is one thing I didn't want to have
to worry about while trying to finish my thesis (I should have known
better...). Clearly, I'm doing something horribly wrong; I used this exact
(as far as I can tell) configuration before, and it worked flawlessly.
Now, however, not so good. I've looked at the raw PostScript code, and
changed the scaling I (tried to) apply to the figure. Just before the code
for the figure are four numbers and a call to @bepsf; I believe that this
is the point where the scaling and translation is done. If I change the
scaling, those numbers change. The resulting figure, however, does not.
Any ideas on where to start looking for a solution will be greatly
appreciated.

Where there is no solution, there is no problem.
