Re: [Matplotlib-users] latex just produces gibberish

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

Sounds like you don't have the fonts installed and/or they are not 
getting found.

You can try removing the font cache, which will force a research.  
(~/.matplotlib/fontList.cache)

If that doesn't work, in your matplotlibrc add the line:

   verbose.level: debug-annoying

This will print out a bunch of information about font searching and 
hopefully track down why the Bakoma fonts are not getting found.
