Maintaining legend line breaks in PDF output

[Andreas Yankopolus]

Creating legend entries that span multiple lines is no problem:

clf;

x = -10:0.01:10;

g1 = normpdf (x,2,2);

g2 = normpdf (x,-2,1.5);

g3 = g1 .* g2;

g3 = g3 .* (100/sum(g3));

plot(x,g1,x,g2,x,g3,"--")

legend("Gaussian PDF 1","Gaussian PDF 2","Product of 1 & 2\n(also Gaussian)")

grid on

But when I create a PDF with:

print -dpdf "~/Desktop/gaussians.pdf”

the line break from the last legend entry gets removed and the resulting test extends outside the box. I’ve attached sample output.

How do I keep the line break in PDF output? I’m running Octave on a Mac installed via MacPorts.
