There are currently two options: you can either set ps.useafm = True, or you 
can set text.usetex = True in your rc settings. Since you are importing 
figures into latex, I suggest the usetex option. That way, your figure fonts 
can be the same as your text fonts. You'll take a bit of a speed hit with the 
latter option, but in my opinion, its the only way to go for generating plots 
for publication.
