[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #53737] printing to svg gives error and no plot, gnuplot dumps core

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #53737 (project octave):

It looks like Octave assumes "fsize N" can be used to set the font size
independent of the font name.  But now it looks like the syntax for the svg
terminal is documented to be


font "<fontname>{,fontsize}"


where {} indicates the element is optional.  For the canvas terminal, the doc
string says


font {<fontname>}{,<fontsize>}


which appears to indicate that the name is optional?  For the x11 terminal, it
is


font <fontspec>


For epslatex it is


{font} "fontname{,fontsize}" {<fontsize>}


and pdfcairo just says


font <font>


whatever that means.

I didn't check every terminal type mentioned in __gnuplot_print__.m, but this
looks like a lot of trouble to support properly.
