[GRASSLIST:736] Re: [GRASS5] postscript labels for vector objects

GREAT. This is a very useful command to insert text.

There is a problem when you make a PDF (or PS) from Print button. 
This is an old problem in new gis.m.
- You create your vector - raster layers and text layers.
- You change the value inside the box more time (example text layers).
- At the end you save a PDF from Print button.
- This PDF displays any change you've made (only display the sequence 
of changes): this is wrong because the file size is bigger and the 
visualization is slow. This PDF have to contain only the true layers 
not the history of changes. Try.

Bye
