How should I proceed if it isn't ? The PDF specification defines the initial fill and stroke color to be black. So it is not a bug for IPE to not set the stroke color if the required color is black. Cairo always sets the fill or stroke color the first time the color is used. I am not familiar with how LaTeX embeds PDF figures but it appears to be a bug in LateX for it to be not setting the stroke color to black before merging a PDF figure into its PDF output. > > Thanks, > > /vincent > > -- > cairo mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.cairographics.org/mailman/listinfo/cairo -- cairo mailing list [email protected] http://lists.cairographics.org/mailman/listinfo/cairo
