What version of mpl are you using?  I thought in a previous post you
said you were using cvs (could be mistaken).  I wrote an extension to
text.py to special case exponential formatting specifically to solve
the mismatched fonts problem.  So make sure you are using a current
problem of matplotlib and if you still have the problem check your
input against the regex in matplotlib.text.Text

    # special case superscripting to speedup logplots
    _rgxsuper = re.compile('\$([\-+0-9]+)\^\{(-?[0-9]+)\}\$')

If you can fix up this expression to include your case that would be
most helpful.
