System: NetBSD macaran 7.99.21 NetBSD 7.99.21 (MACARAN) #31: Fri Nov 20 17:42:57 EST 2015  dholland@macaran:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/MACARAN amd64
Architecture: x86_64
Machine: amd64
	cairo-1.14.4
	graphviz-2.38.0nb9
>Description:

If you give graphviz a graph with labels that include a "+" character
and ask it to generate PDF, it generates PDF that contains a "-"
character instead. It also generates crappy bit-aliased PDF instead of
nice properly vectorized PDF.

Generating postscript instead avoids these problems, both of which are
caused by using the Cairo output driver. (Why graphviz has a "core" ps
driver and not a "core" PDF driver is beyond me, but it is so.)

>How-To-Repeat:

   --- foo.dot ---
digraph foo {
   n1;
   n2;
   n1 -> n2 [label="1 + 1"];
}
   ------

% dot -Tpdf foo.dot > foo.pdf
% xpdf foo.pdf
observe "1 - 1" even at high magnification.

>Fix:
Beats me.

State-Changed-Why:
I can reproduce this.
However, I don't think we'll fix this in pkgsrc. Can you please file
this at one or both of the upstreams?
