Are there any old-school users of the excellent drawing program Xfig out there??? I upgraded from MATE 14.04 (32 bit) to MATE 16.04 (64bit) and now I can not rotate text on screen. I have contacted the maintainers of Xfig and it seems that I probably have an installation problem. Xfig can see all the fonts that it should, but only when the text is oriented to 0 degrees. If you have a working version of Xfig, I would appreciate hearing from you to compare installations.
Hi @jhaefner,
try upgrading to ver: 1:3.2.6-1 from “Stretch unstable” here:

It is one step up from this in the ubuntu repo:
