[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #62884] "-svgconvert" print option causes incorrectly colored Latex output

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #62884 (project octave):

The documentation for the "-svgconvert" option to print says


     '-svgconvert'
          When using the '-painters' renderer, this enables a different
          backend toolchain with enhanced characteristics:

          Font handling:
               For interpreters "none" and "tex", the actual font is
               embedded in the output file which allows for printing
               arbitrary characters and fonts in all vector formats.

               Strings using the "latex" interpreter, are rendered using
               path objects.  This looks good but note that textual info
               (font, characters...) are lost.


So, there are changes to strings which use the "latex" interpreter (conversion
to path objects) which might be influencing things.

I think the fastest workaround right now is to print to svg and then use
another program such as Inkscape or your own test.py to convert svg to pdf.

I added @Pantxo to the CC list for this report since he did the most to write
octave-svgconvert and maybe knows how to fix this quickly.

As a work
