[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #52193] Font choices are ignored when printing to an image file

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #19, bug #52193 (project octave):

@Pantxo: I am in need of better printouts using the qt toolkit so I took a
look again at this bug report.

I had some questions:

1) Is it possible, or does it make sense, to also have an svg-to-svg converter
to coalesce polygons for svg output?  I currently print to svg because I often
need to slightly tweak the figures that are produced before eventual printing
to either pdf or png format.  Because octave-svgconverter is designed only for
svg->other formats the advantages of the removal of excess polygons are not
available.

2) When using the dot '.' marker there are many, many falsely created lines. 
Sample code:


plot (rand (5,3), '.-', 'markersize', 16)
print tst.pdf


I can workaround it by setting the marker to 'o' and setting 'markerfacecolor'
to a color value, but that is a pain.


3) Is the PaperPosition property respected?  I tried


sombrero
set (gcf, 'papersize', [10, 5.7], 'paperposition', [ 0 0 10 5.7])
print tst2.svg
print tst2.pdf


The svg file contains the whole sombrero image, but the pdf is truncated at
the top.  This may be just generic bad positioning that existed before this
patch.
