I have an old fedora 11 system. When I try to use latex math (e.g., $\mu=2$), it gives no error, but seems to produce gibberish (just ordinary ascii chars) in my pdf output. Any ideas how to debug? I found that a trivial 'hello_world.tex' could run through pdflatex OK. |

If that doesn't work, try submitting a short example. |

Are you setting text.usetex to True, or using matplotlib's built-in mathtext rendering? Can you attach an image? I've seen enough of these failure cases that I can often guess by looking at it ;) Mike On 05/18/2011 09:21 AM, Neal Becker wrote: > Darren Dale wrote: > >> On Tue, May 17, 2011 at 2:05 PM, Neal Becker<ndb...@gm...> wrote: >>> I have an old fedora 11 system.

Sounds like you don't have the fonts installed and/or they are not getting found. You can try removing the font cache, which will force a research. (~/.matplotlib/fontList.cache) If that doesn't work, in your matplotlibrc add the line: verbose.level: debug-annoying This will print out a bunch of information about font searching and hopefully track down why the Bakoma fonts are not getting found.

And \mu gets turned into an '=' sign I am not setting text.usetex to True AFAIK (no .matplotlibrc). I also note that there is no ~/.matplotlib/tex.cache on this machine. |
