[Matplotlib-users] LateX Legend (again)

[Jeffrey B. <jeffb@MIT.EDU>]

Hi everyone,

This has been brought up before, but not completely addressed. Is it  
possible to get the text in a Legend to match the rest of the text  
when using LateX? Here is an example of the problem:

import matplotlib as mpl
mpl.rcParams['text.usetex'] = True
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax.plot([1,5,2,3])   # random data
plt.figlegend(ax.lines,[r'$\rm{label}$ label'],loc='upper left')
plt.show()

The first word is at least in a roman font, but the font size is  
wrong. I am using svn revision 8005 with gtkagg backend on linux, and  
confirm the behavior with 0.99.0 with tkagg on OS X.

Thanks,
Jeff
