If so, near the top of your script, try: import matplotlib matplotlib.rcParams['axes.unicode_minus'] = False Otherwise all tick labels are treated as unicode by default, and unicode is rendered in the ps backend as a sequence of glyphs rather than as a single text string. You might also consider using matplotlib to write pdf files instead of ps. The eps format is older and more limited in its capabilities than pdf. You can always convert pdf to eps as a last step, if eps is what you ultimately need. I've never used Illustrator, but I presume it can happily import pdf and export eps.
