> What is the problem with method 3?The \mu character is not in roman font but in italics, while the 'm' is correctly set to roman. In latex I use the SIunits package to write the units, so the fonts are correctly in roman even in math environment. It would be useful something like that in matplotlib too. However I'll be happy even if I could write greek characters in roman fonts. Maybe it's a problem related to the particular font used... Furthermore font rendering it's a bit odd: the fonts appears to be bolder than normal Computer Modern fonts used in the latex document. I've tried to change the font weight (in matplotlibrc) without any effect. On the contrary mathtext seems to use a font like Times, which should be bolder, but the overall aspect is lighter. How can I change the font used by 'mathtext' or 'usetex'? All I want is use the standard ae fonts I'm using in latex.
