xfig symbol fonts appearance

[Eftaxiopoulos Dimitrios <eftaxiop@central.ntua.gr>]

I use xfig in Debian 3.1 (sarge) on a laptop Pentium M. The symbol (greek) 
fonts within xfig, used to appear ok on the screen and in the exported .eps 
file. Recently, I used xfig after a break and the symbol fonts give strange 
characters on the screen. While I type lower case letters, I see upper case 
ones on the screen and when I type upper case ones, I see mathematical 
symbols, numbers etc. on the screen. However, in the exported .eps file, the 
letters appear correctly i.e no ackward symbols. 

The package that I installed in the intermediate period was fig2ps, which I 
purged recently.
