Observe the following image: import pylab pylab.plot([0,1],[1,2],label="$\sigma'_0$") pylab.legend() pylab.savefig('test.png') Notice that the \prime introduced by the single quote in the legend is not raised above the \sigma, like it would be in TeX (i.e., in TeX, $\sigma'_0$ is equivalent to $\sigma^\prime_0$, IIRC). Is this a design decision, or is it easy to fix? This is with matplotlib 1.0.0. Thanks, Jason |

So we know a (somewhat clumsy) workaround. Jason |
