This is similar to what you would get in TeX, so strictly taken it is not a bug. However, in TeX you could write "some label text ($\mu V$)" instead, which unfortunately does not work with matplotlib. A workaround is to type r"$\rm{some\ label\ text}\ (\mu V)$", (as Christian Meesters already wrote). Even if this solves your immediate problem, it would be interesting to debug it further to find the reason that usetex is not working right. > This way, the text is rendered correctly, but then the font used for > the tick numbers switches to some ugly looking font. I could not find the font in your eps file. I think the ghostscript "distilling" step may have converted the original font to pure drawing commands. Could you repeat the test with ps.usedistiller set to None and upload the resulting file? It may also be interesting to set ps.usedistiller to xpdf, if you do have the required programs. > Because Latex mode does not seem to work with the pdf output, Correct: the usetex option is not yet supported by the pdf backend. -- Jouni K.
