Different animations in browser and rendered when using scaleXY about reanimate HOT 4 CLOSED

SVG text is rendered differently by each of the backends. If you want consistent text then you have to do the font handling yourself or use latex.

SVG text also doesn't have a defined width or height because those properties depend on the font which is handled entirely by the rasteriser. This means the scaleToSize/scaleToWidth/scaleToHeight functions won't do what you expect. With the width and height being undefined, there's literally no way to get the expected behaviour, unfortunately.

Oh, I used mkText because the latex function uses pdflatex by default and crashes with ! LaTeX Error: File standalone.cls not found. I think this isn't correct? Is there any way to switch to the "correct" latex?

It defaults to latex (which might be pdflatex on your machine) but you can also use xelatex and lualatex.

I installed amsmath (from texlive-latexextra) and pdf2svg and it works now. Thanks!
