I'm using Octave 9.2.0 on Windows 10. I'm following the examples in the manual
at https://docs.octave.org/v9.1.0/Simple-Examples.html.

When I get to section "1.2.6 Producing Graphical Output" I print the on-screen
plot to foo.pdf. The on-screen plot window looks fine. The foo.pdf file is
created but displays strange artifacts when viewed with Adobe Acrobat.

I have attached screen shots of the plot window and the displayed pdf page,
and the foo.pdf file that Octave generated.

This would be an unfortunate start to using Octave for a new user.
