change engine default value from 'latex' to 'pdflatex' for function view : any opposition?

[Sébastien Labbé]

Hi sage-devel,

At #13713, it is proposed to change the engine default value from 'latex' to 'pdflatex' for function view : any opposition? I just want to make sure there is no reason out there we forget to consider.

See http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/13713

I agree, nobody should be using anything but pdflatex nowadays to generate pdf.

there is also xelatex, which typically produces much smaller pdf files.
(although it doesn't seem to support every bit of stuff used in beamer)

I would be very surprised if anyone had "latex" but not "pdflatex" in
their TeX distribution! So +1 to pdflatex.
