I have problem with the usage of PStricks. When I download the example file from here
https://tug.org/PSTricks/pst-node/Examples/fnode.tex
and compile it by Xelatex, it is strange that I can not get the expected output under the version of Miktex 2.9 ( installed by basic-miktex-20.11-x64.exe) but the old version is OK. The first image is correct but the second one is not OK.
How to fix this in the new version of Miktex ?
More worst output as newly upgrades have done (by xelatex):
Of course, we can use pdflatex --shell -escape *.tex +loading auto-pst-pdf to get the expected output.
[Log-file added] Sorry, I don't know how to attach the log file.
I have tried to run the sample file on 4 PCs and NBs, two of them (PCs) are OK but the rest ones (NBs) are not. Here is the log file.
This is XeTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-0.999992 (MiKTeX 20.12) (preloaded format=xelatex 2020.12.13) 13 DEC 2020 22:21
