[Matplotlib-users] SVG export text grouping on mac

[Kaushik G. <kg...@um...>]

Hi Everyone,

I'm using matplotlib on mac (matplotlib-0.91.2-py2.5-macosx-10.3-fat.egg) .

On windows svg export would have very sensible text grouping. For example an 
xlabel('Time') when saved to svg results in one text object 'Time'.

In the mac version this is saved as 5 separate objects, not text. A little 
puzzling, and inconvenient.

Is there an option somewhere to change this behavior?

I'm attaching an example svg.

Thanks!
