[Matplotlib-users] Tex Text Display Poor Quality

[Samuel M. S. <sm...@sa...>]

I just upgraded my Matplotlib to 0.86.2. The display of text using latex
has really poor resolution. This was not the case with 0.83. Anyone know
what Is the problem. The saved .eps files when converted to pdf have  
good
resolution.

I am using Mac OS X 10.4.4
I have latex installed with
ghostscript 8.51
dvips(k) 5.95b
numpy 0.9.5
WXAgg
wxwindows 2.6.2.1

the following relevant rc settings

font.latex.package  : type1cm
text.usetex         : True  #
text.tex.engine     : latex

figure.dpi       : 100
savefig.dpi       : 100

changing the dpi just makes the window bigger with still poor rendering.

when I run the example cookbook
http://new.scipy.org/Wiki/Cookbook/Matplotlib/UsingTex

I get the following on screen display
