This is most probably a consequence of bug #45600: for display, we specify the characters size in pixels when it should be in points. So for screens with a resolution greater than 72 dpi, characters are down scaled on-screen but not in printout.

Actually, bug #45600 is on my top list of annoyance, and I recently tried to solve it (again) but it is very hard do properly: it is easy to fix the size of characters onscreen, but then you have to circumvent the fact that gl2ps interprets pixels as points...

I think the proper way out is to send scaled data to gl2ps using gl2psAddPolyPrimitive (undocumented, see [1]). This would also let us stop using the deprecated GL_FEEDBACK render mode (see [2] for motivations behind gl2psAddPolyPrimitive) and let us solve bug #48689.

For this to happen there is a lot of work though :-).

demo plotyy 1


The onscreen printout looks different than the result obtained with


print demo1.png


The difference is most obvious with the "Axis 2" ylabel.

The file demo1.onscreen.png is a screen capture and demo1.png is the printout.
