The usetex feature is implemented for the Agg backend (i.e., png output) using dvipng, and for the PostScript backend using (I think) dvips with psfrag, and neither of these is easily generalizable to work with svg or pdf. However, some time ago I committed the beginnings of a dvi parser and a little support code in the pdf backend, enough to get a small demo almost working: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.matplotlib.devel/2687 I have no idea how difficult it would be to get this working in the svg backend, but in the pdf backend the biggest hurdle is probably in generalizing the current font support so that the TeX fonts can be embedded. -- Jouni K.
