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.) \n\n### Code for reproduction\n\n```Python\nfrom pathlib import Path\nimport pandas as pd\nimport matplotlib.pyplot as plt\nimport scienceplots\n\n\nBASE_PATH = Path(__file__).parent\nDATA_PATH = BASE_PATH / \"ion_ranges.csv\"\n\n\nplt.style.use(['science', 'latex-siunitx'])\n\ndat = pd.read_csv(DATA_PATH)\n\nplt.plot(dat[\"energy\"], dat[\"projected_range_um\"], marker=\"o\", linestyle=\"-\")\nplt.xlabel(\"Energy (keV)\")\nplt.ylabel(r\"Projected Range (\\si{\\um})\")\nplt.tight_layout()\nplt.savefig(BASE_PATH / \"ion_ranges_plot.pdf\")\n```\n\n### Actual outcome\n\n![Image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/f1136960-1896-4288-a6a7-6344734ceb88)\n\n### Expected outcome\n\n[ion_ranges_plot.pdf](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/19395486/ion_ranges_plot.pdf)\n\n\n\n\n### Additional information\n\n_No response_\n\n### Operating system\n\n_No response_\n\n### Matplotlib Version\n\n3.10.1\n\n### Matplotlib Backend\n\n_No response_\n\n### Python version\n\n_No response_\n\n### Jupyter version\n\n_No response_\n\n### Installation\n\nNone","author":{"url":"https://github.com/jamesmeiklejohn","@type":"Person","name":"jamesmeiklejohn"},"datePublished":"2025-03-21T18:43:11.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":3},"url":"https://github.com/29791/matplotlib/issues/29791"}
