Re: [Matplotlib-users] TrueType font embedding in eps problem.

[Rob H. <he...@ta...>]

There have been quite a few changes to fonts in MPL since 8.x.   
Perhaps one of the biggest is mathtext.  Real unicode fonts with  
mathematics.  Since you do what I do, sort of, I am guessing that you  
might be happy with the same configuration I use.  I looks great, and  
can be edited in Illustrator (et al.).

I really like Arev Sans, but others like the new STIX fonts.  This  
setup is for Arev Sans.  The important stuff is what begins with  
mathtext.  If you want serif fonts, this should be enough to get you  
started on customizing.  Just make sure whatever fontset you pick has  
all of the math symbols built in, or change fallback_to_cm to True.
