As soon as I try annotation or any other text with LateX typesetting, pvserver crashes. However, client itself without being in client-server mode doesn’t crash. The server is built with EGL rendering.

> Hi, I’ve got a pvserver running on EGL renderer. For the caption of the colormap I wanted to put some mathematical symbols with LateX typesetting. But as soon as I hit apply, Paraview crashes. But the same doesn’t happen for pvserver compiled to run with OsMesa rendering. What is causing the problem and how to address it?
