[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #43827] print svg with incorrect font baseline

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #43827 (project octave):

This will be hard to fix since we rely on gl2ps to construct the svg from the
OpenGL window.  Really it needs to be fixed upstream, if it needs to be
fixed.

I get quite acceptable results with Inkscape, bad results with Libreoffice or
Firefox, and intermediate results with KDE's svg renderer.  This is the same
experience reported by Pantxo so I'm not sure who is following the svg
standard and who is not.  It may be that gl2ps is creating correct svg code.

As a workaround, I find working in Inkscape with svg to be quite easy.  There
is also the choice of exporting to a format like postscript or pdf and then
importing that into svg through Inkscape or another program.  I had good
results doing that including being able to recognize text as text, rather than
just graphic images.
