Hoary's xfig charset problem

I had the same problem.  The solution is in the xfig.README.3.2:





NOTE 3: It is highly recommended that you use Type1 fonts for xfig.

	For RedHat systems you can use following command (as root):



	        chkfontpath --add /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1



	For other X systems you can install the following ghostscript files

	into your X11 Type1 fonts directory (usu. /usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1)
for

	the best scalable on-screen fonts.  You need to update the "fonts.dir"


	and "fonts.scale" files to reflect these fonts.  



	Basically, if you copy the following lines into those two files and

	update the count in the first line to include them, then do an

	"xset fp rehash" the X Window System will know about them.



	Of course, you will have to also copy the ghostscript font files

	themselves (i.e. b018012l.pfb etc.) into the X11 fonts/Type1
directory.

	You can get these fonts from
ftp://ftp.cs.wisc.edu/pub/ghost/aladdin/fonts
