Hi,
following problem arises when using the pgf backend:
For the plots in my document I would like to use a sans-serif font.
Because I want to use the functionality of the Tex-package siunitx
(among others) I need to use either the pdf-backend with text.usetex set
to True or the pgf-backend. Because I like the idea of being able to use
virtually any font with XeLatex I'd prefer using the pgf-backend.
However, I cannot seem to be able to convince matplotlib to use a
sans-serif font for the tick-labels of my logarithmic axis. The weird
thing is, that there is no problem when using linear scales. My
(minimal) matplotlibrc looks like this:
backend : pdf
font.family : sans-serif
pgf.preamble : \usepackage{sfmath}
An example script to reproduce the error:
#!usr/bin/env python
from pylab import *
y = logspace(-3,9,num=50,base=10.0)
fig = figure(1)
clf()
myplt = fig.add_subplot(111)
myplt.plot(y)
myplt.set_yscale('log')
savefig('test.pdf')
Has anyone had similar issues or does anyone have a good idea as to
what to look into? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Kalle
