blurry pdf poppler import of Matplotlib v3.5.1 chart

Steps to reproduce:

  • open Inkscape
  • import "0_input_test_lines.pdf"
  • try cairo-poppler option
  • export as pdf

What happened?

  • import is ugly with cairo.

What should have happened?

  • import has sharp bars like the internal import or if you add image-rendering:crisp-edges to the svg node.

Note: original issue was regarding the internal import method and the fact that the pdf export did not match it (that issue is tracked in inkscape#698)

Inkscape Version and Operating System:

  • Inkscape Version: 1.2.1 windows / 1.3-dev linux
  • Operating System: windows / linux
