Hi, I gave this a shot, but it didn't print anything out. Attached is an example of a plot where the fonts don't match.
In [4]: rcParams['verbose.level']='debug-annoying'
In [5]: rcParams['mathtext.fontset'] = 'stix'
In [6]: rcParams['font.family'] = 'serif'
In [7]: plot(arange(10))
Out[7]: [<matplotlib.lines.Line2D object at 0x92b162c>]
In [8]: text(1,7,r'$1 \alpha$')
Out[8]: <matplotlib.text.Text object at 0x8f047cc>
In [9]: text(1,3,'1 alpha')
Out[9]: <matplotlib.text.Text object at 0x92c4c0c>
In [10]: savefig('test.eps')
Thanks,
David
