Follow-up Comment #3, bug #68491 (group octave):=0A=0AI still don't get it.=
.. What do you mean by "earlier in the pipeline" ? GL2PS=0Aalways/only prod=
uces SVG ? Does not look like it, from their website. Your=0Asuggestion wor=
ks, this means that Octave hasn't phased GL2PS out, right ?=0AThen, Ghostsc=
ript does not seem to (be able to) handle SVG.. In the good old=0Adays, GL2=
PS produced (E)PS directly, and this was perfect. Now, I am stuck=0Awith ne=
edless hassle. The GS-produced (E)PS is awful. I fail to see why a=0Adeviat=
ion over Ghostscript is needed. Possibly it can be intercepted and=0Aforbid=
den. Would be much obliged for any hint !=0A=0A=0A    _____________________=
