Title: cannot export correct formula
Post by: l123 on January 19, 2013, 01:47:23 AM

Hi, I use WinFIG 4.9 at Windows 7 32bit

When I set special flag at right toolbar, I could input formula at Text, like "$A^{i}_{j}$" (without quote).

It shows correctly at WinFIG, but when I would export it to eps, it shows wrongly like $A^{i}_{j}$, instead of correct formula.

Any help? Appreciation TIA!

If you export to EPS, you get EPS. WinFIG runs the TeX formatted texts through a LaTeX interpreter for visualization, but the export is still
a plain EPS export. You have to export to LaTeX or - even better - to a combined LaTeX/EPS-Format. That's done via the pstex or pdftex export.

See the FAQ question "How can I create a LaTeX file with PSTeX or PDFTeX?"
 
An alternative is to export to pstricks and include the pstricks package in your LaTeX document. pstricks has graphics capabilities close to PostScript.
