 When exporting to all three: PostScript, PDF and TeX, using File > Export
 > Combined PS/PDF/LaTeX, xfig incorrectly generates PostScript and PDF
 that included LaTeX-only (special) text

 Steps to Reproduce:
 1. Open a new figure in xfig, draw a circle.
 2. Select T (text) input on the left menu, on the bottom row click on Text
 Flags and select Special Flag to Special.
 3. Click somewhere in the circle and type $\pi$
 4. Save figure as toto.fig, then go to File > Export > Combined
 PS/PDF/LaTeX. The generated files toto_pspdftex.eps and toto_pspdftex.pdf
 should contain just the circle, but they also contain $\pi$. The third
 file: toto.pspdftex is correct.

 This is a known problem and has been resolved. See bugs fixed for
 Patchlevel 5a:
 http://www.xfig.org/art17.html

 But the version in MacPorts still has this problem.
