Re: [Matplotlib-users] \mathbb test doesn't render properly

[Damon M. <D.M...@wa...>]

So it turns out that

text.latex.preamble : '\usepackage{amsmath},\usepackage{amssymb}'

is not valid, but

text.latex.preamble : \usepackage{amsmath},\usepackage{amssymb}

is valid. Everything works fine now.

However, when putting this value in the ~/.matplotlib/matplotlibrc file, I get the same error saying that \mathbb is undefined. Any ideas?

In either case, the text doesn't render as blackboard bold text, it's just normal Computer Modern Roman text (see attached figure). Also see attached a python script that reproduces the figure.
