LaTeX lines rendered incorrectly when using text

[Kolaru]

For example the bar of the sqrt:

text(L"\sqrt{2}")

Using space=:data put the line at the correct place with the correct length, but an incorrect thickness:

text(L"\sqrt{2}", space=:data)

I think it's a Makie bug because using it in labels work just fine.

First reported in Kolaru/MathTeXEngine.jl#28

Yeah this is because the linesegments need to be inversely projected first and I didn't have time to figure out how. If anybody feels like it, this would be the place https://github.com/JuliaPlots/Makie.jl/blob/master/src/basic_recipes/text.jl#L162

A temporary fix for GLMakie and probably WGLMakie would be to pass the camera matrices directly like I did for DataInspector. I.e. something along the lines of

linesegments!(
    ax, 
     map(pos -> project(
        camera(ax.scene).projectionview[],
        Vec2f(widths(pixelarea(ax.scene)[])),
        apply_transform(transform_func_obs(plot)[], pos)
    ), positions), # this should be changed to update when any of those Observables update
    projection = camera(ax.scene).pixel_space,
    view = Mat4f0(I),
    projectionview = camera(ax.scene).poixel_space,
    ...
)

will be fixed by #2020 if it goes through as is
