Take a look at: http://dtrx.de/od/tex/sfmath.html
You have to load the package in the preambel of LaTeX.
For matplotlib this can be done by adding "text.latex.preamble :
\usepackage{sfmath}" to your matplotlibrc.

You can't. The problem is that while Helvetica contains all the usual
letters and numbers, TeX math fonts must include Greek letters and a
variety of symbols. (There exists a commercial Helvetica-like math font
called HV Math from Micropress Inc.)
Instead of getting math mode to use Helvetica, you want to make the tick
labels use text mode. I don't think there is existing support for that
in Matplotlib, but take a look at the Formatter classes in ticker.py -
if the functionality of OldScalarFormatter is enough for you, use that,
otherwise you'll have to hack ScalarFormatter to do what you want. If
you want the labels to look like they do right now except for the font
of the numbers, I think you could just wrap every number in
\textsf{...}, but there could be problems with spacing.

The mathtext options have no effect in usetex mode - everything gets
rendered by TeX.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Switching between different font settings
Thank you for your answer!
I am trying to use helvetica and yes, text(r'$1+2+3={}$1+2+3') gives me
helvetica for the non math mode case.
But how do I get math mode to use the same font? I've tried to set
'mathtext.rm': 'sans-serif' in my params dict
and then run "rcParams.update(params)" but that did not help. Do you know
what I should do?

This seems to me to be a good way of switching between settings.

The usetex support attempts to select a font from the same list used by
matplotlib otherwise. I'm not sure if it's properly documented anywhere,
but the machinery is in texmanager.py, and here's the relevant data
structure:
font_info = {'new century schoolbook': ('pnc',
r'\renewcommand{\rmdefault}{pnc}'),
'bookman': ('pbk', r'\renewcommand{\rmdefault}{pbk}'),
'times': ('ptm', r'\usepackage{mathptmx}'),
'palatino': ('ppl', r'\usepackage{mathpazo}'),
'zapf chancery': ('pzc', r'\usepackage{chancery}'),
'cursive': ('pzc', r'\usepackage{chancery}'),
'charter': ('pch', r'\usepackage{charter}'),
'serif': ('cmr', ''),
'sans-serif': ('cmss', ''),
'helvetica': ('phv', r'\usepackage{helvet}'),
'avant garde': ('pag', r'\usepackage{avant}'),
'courier': ('pcr', r'\usepackage{courier}'),
'monospace': ('cmtt', ''),
'computer modern roman': ('cmr', ''),
'computer modern sans serif': ('cmss', ''),
'computer modern typewriter': ('cmtt', '')}
What font are you trying to use? Is it one of those listed above?
Since you say that you get the right font for legends and labels but not
for tick labels, perhaps the problem is with math mode. What font do you
get if you typeset a formula? Try something like
text(r'$1+2+3={}$1+2+3')
to see if the math font is different from the text font.
