Re: print command fails on PDF

[Matthias Brennwald]

Dear all

I managed to work around the below issue (which I sent to help-octave
earlier today) by changing line 410 in print.m from:
        options = cstrcat (options, " ", fontsize);
to:
        options = cstrcat (options, " fsize ", fontsize);

Just in case someone consideres this a bug (I'm absolutely unsure about
this), here's a diff:

410c410
<         options = cstrcat (options, " ", fontsize);
---
>         options = cstrcat (options, " fsize ", fontsize);
