Setting 'pdf.fonttype'=3 had no effect, embedded fonts are of fonttype=1 nonetheless. I guess that pdf.fonttype parameter is used only when matplotlib uses it's own engine to render latex, and not when text.usetex=true is used.
Cairo backend is not support when text.usetex=true (only Agg, pdf and ps according to documentation) On 05/27/2011 03:53 PM, Michael Droettboom wrote: > Have you tried setting the rcParams "pdf.fonttype" to 3?
