Hi all, To annotate my figures with Greek letters, I use the following:
import matplotlib matplotlib.use('PDF') import matplotlib.pyplot as plt from matplotlib import rc rc('font',**{'family':'sans-serif','sans-serif':['Helvetica']}) plt.rcParams['ps.useafm'] = True rc('font',**{'family':'sans-serif','sans-serif':['Helvetica']}) plt.rcParams['pdf.fonttype'] = 42 # plot figure # ... # annotate figure plt.xlabel(r'$\mu$ = 50') plt.ylabel(r'$\sigma$ = 1.5') This makes the equal symbol and everything to the right of it in the Helvetica font, as intended, and the Greek symbols default to the usual TeX font (which I believe is Times New Roman.) How can I make it so the font used for the Greek letters is the "Symbol" font instead? It's important for me not to have it appear in the default Times font of TeX. thanks for your help. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com _______________________________________________ Matplotlib-users mailing list Matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users
