Details:

I'm re-uploading Pantxo's "print_coverage.m" script from bug #49718.
Running it on a current development version of Octave 6 (hg id d05d6eebde10)
on Windows, some output formats are broken. Specifically these are:
case #4 (eps) and case #5 (epsc):
no output at all
case #14 (emf) and case #15 (meta):
empty files
case #16 (fig):
invalid content

Running the same script in Octave 5.1, the results are slightly different:
case #4 (eps) and case #5 (epsc):
valid files
case #14 (emf) and case #15 (meta):
empty files
case #16 (fig):
invalid content but different from Octave 6.0


I'm also uploading the complete content of the print_test folders.

All formats are working fine for me on Ubuntu 19.04.

Wrt the failing cases #4 and #5, Dmitri wrote in bug #49718 (comment #59
there):
