Bug summary

When saving certain outputs using Latex rendering as an SVG, it produces wrong outputs. Using plt.show() it renders correctly, and it works for saving as a PDF, but saving the output as a SVG math environment characters can render in the wrong size (see attached screenshots.)

Code for reproduction

from pathlib import Path
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import scienceplots


BASE_PATH = Path(__file__).parent
DATA_PATH = BASE_PATH / "ion_ranges.csv"


plt.style.use(['science', 'latex-siunitx'])

dat = pd.read_csv(DATA_PATH)

plt.plot(dat["energy"], dat["projected_range_um"], marker="o", linestyle="-")
plt.xlabel("Energy (keV)")
plt.ylabel(r"Projected Range (\si{\um})")
plt.tight_layout()
plt.savefig(BASE_PATH / "ion_ranges_plot.pdf")

Actual outcome

Expected outcome
