Re: [Matplotlib-users] Mathtext + stixsans weird baseline

[Ryan M. <rm...@gm...>]

I'm having a problem with the rendering of stixsans fonts again. Not
as bad as the baseline before, but some odd text placement:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib import rcParams
rcParams['font.size'] = 8.0
rcParams['mathtext.default'] = 'regular'
rcParams['mathtext.fontset'] = 'stixsans'
fig = plt.figure(dpi=100)
plt.text(0.5,0.5,'$Velocity \,Spectrum \, (m \,s^{-1})$')
plt.show()

I've attached images from both the 'regular' setting above and for
'mathtext.default' set to 'rm', which actually makes things
worse. It's also quite noticable for larger font sizes with 'rm'.

Thoughts?
