BUG in creation of SVG graphics

ROOT
1

Hey
I am using pyROOT and figured out that there is a problem with TLatex when creating svgs:

import ROOT
histo = ROOT.TH1D('name','name',255,0,1)
histo.GetYaxis().SetTitle('temp [#circ C]')
canvas = ROOT.TCanvas('c1')
histo.Draw()
canvas.SaveAs('test.svg')

The #circ is not drawn correctly: instead fo the circ there is a `

Cheers,

Problem seems to be that it takes the wrong HTML Entity (decimal) encoding:
instead of &#176, &#786 was used
this actually gives the wrong symbol:
fileformat.info/info/unicode … /index.htm
fileformat.info/info/unicode … /index.htm

Cheers

Now fixed in 5.34 and trunk.
Thanks for reporting.
