Description
Some subscripts seem to be incorrectly displayed in figures with high pixel density. For example, subscript + is shown correctly even for dpi=600, while subscript - or * are not shown correctly and the previous letter is cut off. This is similar to #4428, so apparently the issue has not been resolved.
Example:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig1 = plt.figure()
ax1 = fig1.add_subplot(111)
ax1.axis([0, 5, 0, 5])
ax1.text(2,4, '$X_-$', fontsize=25)
ax1.text(4,4, '$X_+$', fontsize=25)
ax1.text(2,2, '$X_*$', fontsize=25)
fig2 = plt.figure(dpi=600)
ax2 = fig2.add_subplot(111)
ax2.axis([0, 5, 0, 5])
ax2.text(2,4, '$X_-$', fontsize=25)
ax2.text(4,4, '$X_+$', fontsize=25)
ax2.text(2,2, '$X_*$', fontsize=25)
produces
I am using matplotlib 3.3.2 with Python 3.7.8.
