Title: "print" does not escape '(' and ')' in labels; PostScript error ensues
Submitter: Duncan Clarke dclarke@advantyx.com

Subsys: Dotty/Lneato/Lefty
Version: 1.7c
System: Sparc-Solaris-5.7
Severity: major
Problem:
The labels in my graph contain parenthesis. If the parenthesis are unbalanced the PostScript generated by the Print command returns an error (rangecheck on get) immediately after the TXT command. If I edit the PostScript file and manually escape all the parenthesis in the string with backslash, the PostScript file can be interpreted correctly.
Input file: b3.dot
Output file: b3.ps
Fix: Escape all parenthesis in labels while creating PostScript
