Re: [Matplotlib-users] subscript without latex

[Michael D. <md...@st...>]

You have a choice of the built-in math layout engine (mathtext) and 
using the real LaTeX for this.  The rcParam "text.usetex", when True, 
will use LaTeX.

I'm not sure I fully understand the question, though.  To get the Greek 
alpha character, Unicode will be used in the output.  You've 
demonstrated that you don't have to use Unicode in the input, however, 
as you can say "$\alpha_0$".  What is it you're trying to avoid?
