Hi Werner: I have documented at https://sourceforge.net/p/plplot/bugs/133 all the issues for -dev pdf that I spotted by looking at the standard examples results. I have tentatively assigned this bug to you since you are the originator of this code. But I also encourage other PLplot device experts here to help out by cleaning up these remaining small issues for the pdf device since once those issues are fixed this device should provide an outstanding (except for the lack of access to exotic unicode fonts) light-weight PDF solution for PLplot users on all platforms.
For others here, note the only external dependency of this device is libhpdf = libharu which requires a minor patch to run example 24, but the patched version is an easy build on all platforms. The build_projects project needs just one more step (improved documentation) to make it convenient for anybody here to use it to build many PLplot dependencies such as libharu. That libharu build works well both on Linux and MinGW/MSYS/Wine. However, I also plan to upgrade the libharu build configuration in build_projects/libharu/bp.cmake to the latest libharu code release. So when the documentation update and that task is completed (with luck in the next few days) it should be easy for anybody here to test (and debug) the pdf device.
