As in #903 for the PDF backend, which is now fixed, the FreeSans '0' and '8' characters are distorted when saving to .svg:

plot(np.arange(10))
gcf().savefig('freesans_example.png')
gcf().savefig('freesans_example.svg')

The resulting files:

http://devio.us/~mspacek/freesans_example.svg

This is with svg.fonttype set to the default 'path'. If set to 'svgfont' or 'none' instead, the problem seems to go away.

Note that this problem doesn't seem to happen in the PS backend, irrespective of the ps.fonttype setting.

See the fix in #926. The PS backend uses the save font conversion code as the PDF backend, so it's not surprising that Jouni's fix for the PDF backend also fixed PS.

Fixes matplotlib#913. Paths that start with an "OFF" point should use…

… their last point as an initial MOVETO. This is the SVG-specific corrolory to matplotlib#905.
