I'm lacking a bit of context here, but it looks like you're speaking of cdbs' doc/Makefile, and of the following: | 28 %.eps: %.dot | 29 dot -Tps2 -o $@ $^ -Gsize='6,10' Also, since cdbs is Arch: all, I have no build log, and no idea of the graphviz version used to produce those files. Note that 2.8 and 2.12 series are quite different, and that 2.12-4 is the first version to make sure anti-aliased output is available (I had to fix some upstream Makefiles). I've still to read about EPS and so on, but at first glance, it isn't even mentioned on [1]. [2] mentions it, though, but it looks like you'd rather want to use -Tps, instead of -Tps2. [3] doesn't speak about EPS either. 1. http://www.graphviz.org/doc/info/output.html 2. http://www.graphviz.org/doc/FAQ.html 3. http://www.graphviz.org/doc/pspdf.png > > Your ".eps" file isn't EPS at all (many violations: > > "setpagedevice", ...)

I'm not sure at all, and anyway I'll ask on the upstream mailing list, and keep you posted. Cheers, -- Cyril Brulebois
