Re: [Matplotlib-users] funny bug with greek letters

[Nicolas C. <nic...@br...>]

thanks a lot! I did not know about raw strings, sorry, even Python has
its black corners, I guess.
funny \gamma works, though.
On a related note, usetex=True is fancy, but produce much bigger eps
files for me, so I stick with the standard mathtex rendering.
Thanks again
Nicolas
