[Matplotlib-users] basic pgf test fails

[Neal B. <ndb...@gm...>]

I tried the simple example, but all examples I try choke on savefig ('blah.pdf')
This is fedora20 linux, with pretty modern, complete texlive.

I tried rm'ing tex-cache

---------------- example.py
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

import matplotlib as mpl
mpl.use("pgf")
pgf_with_rc_fonts = {
    "font.family": "serif",
    "font.serif": [],                   # use latex default serif font
    "font.sans-serif": ["DejaVu Sans"], # use a specific sans-serif font
}
mpl.rcParams.update(pgf_with_rc_fonts)

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.figure(figsize=(4.5,2.5))
plt.plot(range(5))
plt.text(0.5, 3., "serif")
plt.text(0.5, 2., "monospace", family="monospace")
plt.text(2.5, 2., "sans-serif", family="sans-serif")
plt.text(2.5, 1., "comic sans", family="Comic Sans MS")
plt.xlabel(u"µ is not $\\mu$")
plt.tight_layout(.5)

Figured it out.  problem is xelatex was not installed.  Too bad the traceback 
can't be more clear on this.

This sounds like something that can be fixed quite easily in mpl, and 
that if not fixed is likely to trip up other people. Would you turn this 
into a github issue, please?  Or, a PR?

Thank you.
