We are trying to get a couple of our tests suites to execute on mpl 1.x and 2.0 without having to duplicate the baseline images. The `classic` style helps a lot but there are still many small issues mainly related to text positioning. Is there a way I can force it to behave the same on mpl 1.x and 2.0?\r\n\r\nA simple example demonstrating the problem:\r\n\r\n```python\r\nimport matplotlib.pyplot as plt\r\nplt.style.use(\"classic\")\r\nplt.plot([1, 2, 3, 4])\r\nplt.savefig(\"out.png\")\r\n```\r\n\r\nThe difference is subtle but enough to cause issues when testing - the text baseline (or center line I guess) is different for both. This was run for mpl 1.5.3 and mpl 2.0.0.\r\n\r\n\u003cimg width=\"373\" alt=\"screen shot 2017-01-21 at 14 19 41\" src=\"https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/800487/22174693/c4a78ce6-dfe4-11e6-9a7b-ed516123f177.png\"\u003e\r\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/krischer","@type":"Person","name":"krischer"},"datePublished":"2017-01-21T13:22:59.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":10},"url":"https://github.com/7905/matplotlib/issues/7905"}
