Dave, I had the same problem as you. Here is a solution...
Try editing your matplotlib rc file and change these font preferences font.serif : New Century Schoolbook, Century Schoolbook L, Utopia, ITC Bookman, Bookman, Bitstream Vera Serif, Nimbus Roman No9 L, Times New Roman, Times, Palatino, Charter, serif font.sans-serif : Lucida Grande, Verdana, Geneva, Lucida, Bitstream Vera Sans, Arial, Helvetica, Avant Garde, sans-serif font.cursive : Apple Chancery, Textile, Zapf Chancery, Sand, cursive font.fantasy : Comic Sans MS, Chicago, Charcoal, Impact, Western, fantasy font.monospace : Andale Mono, Bitstream Vera Sans Mono, Nimbus Mono L, Courier New, Courier, Fixed, Terminal, monospace by moving the bitstream fonts to the front. Next, you have to use LaTeX for all the 'text' you include in your plot. Add rc('text', usetex=True) at the begining of your Python script or modify your matplotlibrc file. Everything is working fine after that. Regards.
