Hi,

Yes, this is due to the fact that we don't use the default size for figures
in the manual, hence they are resized before printing. As the legend
function is currently unable to handle resizing the text labels don't fit
into the box. 

See https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?39697

A simple workaround would be to use something like:

  set (0, "defaultfigureposition", [0 0 printout_width_in_points
printout_height_in_points]) 

before creating the figure. Then it wouldn't have to be resized before
printing and the legend would be created with the right size.
