Re: Does Makempy still work?

[Cedric Mauclair <cedric.mauclair@gmail.com>]

I tried some other text and it appears that it can display (some)
maths, but no text.

graphictext "something" scaled 10 withdrawcolor red withfillcolor
green withpen pencircle scaled 2pt ;

doesn't work either.


P.S. : I am sorry, I just noticed the object of the message does not
start like the others.
