Interesting, I will try it when I have time to fiddle with 0.90 installation (currently I have 0.87, included in ubuntu dapper). > You can also set: > mathtext.rm : FreeSerif.ttf # Roman font > mathtext.it : FreeSerifItalic.ttf # Text italic > mathtext.tt : FreeMono.ttf # Typewriter (monospaced) > mathtext.mit : FreeSerifItalic.ttf # Math italic > mathtext.cal : FreeSansOblique.ttf # Caligraphic > > Beware that you have to have the freefonts installed on your system, > or in the mpl data-dir. Nice, thanks for the imformation. Do they work in matplotlib 0.87 too? (In my quick test they do not work). Currently I'm not able to change mathtext or "usetex" fonts (except for the font size). The font.serif, font.sans, etc... properties change only the normal text font. Furthermore I have noted that with "usetex" ticks label are rendered differently if they are explicitly set with set_[xy]ticklabels() or not. Compare the ytick labels (automatic) and xtick labels (manually set) in the attached plot. You can see also that the title and x axis label fonts are "boldier" (weightier) than the standard latex Computer Modern fonts (the difference become evident when the image is included in a latex document). This effect is what I was talking about in previous mail. > Best, > Edin Ciao, ~ Antonio PS: Sorry to Edin Salkovic for previous private reply ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
