Michael,

What you're suggesting corresponds to the what should be done if the
"interpreter" property is set to "latex". What I implemented is a
simpler self-contained interepreter which corresponds to what should be
done if the "interpreter" property is set to "tex". It only handles
symbol, super-, sub-scripts and changes in the fonts (size, type, color,
weight, angle). Both should probably be implemented, but hey the "tex"
is all I need in Octave
