Bug summary
When using the star (*) symbol in a text box, it cuts off the bottom of the text when saved (savefig). This is only the case when usetex=False in rcParams.
Code for reproduction
import matplotlib
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib import rc
rc('text', usetex=False)
fig, ax = plt.subplots(1,1)
ax.text(0.5, 0.5, '$S_{*} M^{ath}$ and some not math',
transform=ax.transAxes)
plt.savefig('test1.png', bbox_inches='tight')
You can see the bottom of the text box is cut off. Whereas this plots fine:
fig, ax = plt.subplots(1,1)
ax.text(0.5, 0.5, '$S_{ome} M^{ath}$ and some not math',
transform=ax.transAxes)
plt.savefig('test1.png', bbox_inches='tight')
