Re: [Matplotlib-users] Fonts not showing up when I save an EPS figure.

[Rick M. <rm...@sa...>]

Darren,

I did a little more googling after my initial post and found that if  
I set:

font.latex.package : type1cm
text.usetex : true
text.tex.engine: latex

in my .matplotlibrc file the problem goes away. So I guess this is a  
false alarm, although I don't remember having problems with fonts in  
Latex in the past. Still, I think I've found my workaround. Thanks  
for your quick response, and apologies for not having done more  
research before posting.

Rick
