It used to be that those settings were not honored when using (La)TeX.

The relevant changes are in texmanager.py (and I don't recall if they
are in 0.84).

    def get_tex_command(self, tex, fname):

        fontcmd = {'sans-serif' : r'{\sffamily %s}',
                   'monospace'  : r'{\ttfamily %s}'}.get(
            rcParams['font.family'], r'{\rmfamily %s}')
        tex = fontcmd % tex

Add that snippet to the method and you should be good to go.
