[OS X TeX] Program to draw Venn diagrams?

[Dima Brodsky]

I think IPE http://ipe.compgeom.org/ should be able to handle all your
needs. I haven't played with it extensively, but it should be able
to do intersections, plus output to a bunch of different formats,
latex and ps, being two of them.  Plus, it supports latex fonts and
if you get QT you can build ipe natively under osx.
