Since I am using labels with the ('Interpreter','LaTeX')-option I would like to save the figure as a .pdf figure rendered with 'painters'. Specifically, I currently use the package 'export_fig', to save the figure.

I've tried using the renderer-options 'openGL' and 'zBuffer' aswell: They produce nice results, with nice plots and small datasize - but the fontsize of the labels are sadly somewhat messed (and I really need the fontsize to be consistent).

Hi again

export_fig is now updated. Download the new version and try

export_fig test.png -painters

This should produce a good looking bitmap. Then convert this to pdf outside matlab.
