plot_line_origin not working for custom HITRAN molecules

Problem

It seems there is a problem with plot_line_origin an custom hitran molecules The error message below seems to indicate something went wrong with the latex math rendering. My suspicion is that it has to do with the special naming of the custom molecules.

Workaround

What might work is to pass the lineident names for plotting to plot_line_origin e.g. add the parameter lineIdents=["molename"] to the call for plot_line_origin.

Error message

ValueError:
