I am trying to include figures in slitex documents using transfig and
the epic environment. I am having some problems because slitex uses
a rather large font for the text in the figures (math expressions) which
tends to overwrite parts of the figures. Doing a
\begin{footnotesize} before the figure helps a little- but not enough...
is there another, smaller font that I can get slitex to use? Or can I define
one? If so, how?
Failing that... is there a way to do something like this:
1. process figure file to postscript via latex
2. include a bounding box around the resulting postscript (or get dvips to do it)
3. include it in slitex via \psfig
or... last but not least:
Hacking the resulting text output from transfig (or transfig):
\put(16,163){\makebox(0,0)[lb]{\raisebox{0pt}[0pt][0pt]{\shortstack[l]{{\twlrm $\langle \bar{u}\,(v-V_i) \rangle_1$}}}}}
so that a different font (a smaller one) gets used for the text?
(Strictly speaking this needs to be hacked in slitex because the slitex
environment doesn't define \twlrm. In any case, whatever \twlrm is defined as,
it seemingly gets overridden by the math mode caused by the $'s).
