Describe the issue here

When trying to display the greater symbol in the legend, it is not displayed correctly.

How can we replicate it? What have you tried? Please, add a reproducible example

Here is a minimal example:

    import scienceplots
    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
    plt.style.use('science')
    plt.plot(1, 2, label='>test')
    plt.legend()
    plt.show()

Output is:

Yeah, that's because you are using latex and supporting those glyphs depends on encoding/font.

The following code works, with the latex commands instead. Note it is enclosed in a raw string.

import scienceplots
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.style.use('science')
plt.plot(1, 2, label=r'>test \textgreater \textless')
plt.legend()
plt.show()
