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

[Andreas Weber]

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #43827 (project octave):

consider the following Octave code:


## verticalalignment middle is default
text (0.2, 0.5, "Z middle");
text (0.5, 0.5, "Z bottom", "verticalalignment", "bottom")
text (0.8, 0.5, "Z top", "verticalalignment", "top")

line([0 1], [0.5 0.5])
axis off
print out.svg


which produces following SVG (snipped header and footer)


<text fill="#000000" x="164.16" y="226.58" font-size="10" text-anchor="start"
baseline-shift="-5" font-family="Helvetica">Z middle</text>
<text fill="#000000" x="298.08" y="226.58" font-size="10" text-anchor="start"
baseline-shift="0" font-family="Helvetica">Z bottom</text>
<text fill="#000000" x="432" y="226.58" font-size="10" text-anchor="start"
baseline-shift="-10" font-family="Helvetica">Z top</text>
<polyline fill="none" stroke="#000000" stroke-width="0.5" points="74.88,226.58
521.28,226.58"/>


As you can see the y position of the line and the text are always the same and
"baseline-shift = font-size/2" is used to vertically center the text, 0 for
bottom and font-size for top.

I also attach the exported PNG from inkscape. I still can't see an error in
Octave, gl2ps and Inkscape
