[Matplotlib-users] Incorrect latex rendering for \hat{x} and \vec{x}

[Alejandro W. <ale...@gm...>]

Hi:

I am getting incorrect renderings when using \hat{x} or \vec{x}. The
following code

#####################################################
import matplotlib.pylab as plt

plt.axes([0.1, 0.15, 0.8, 0.75])
plt.plot(range(10))

plt.xlabel(r'$\hat{y}$  $\vec{x}$ $x^2 + y^2$', fontsize=20)
plt.show()
#####################################################

produce the attached plot. Note that the "hat" and the "arrow" are in
the wrong place. The other Latex part looks OK.

I am running version 1.2.x (built from commit
11e528425e230a3e23d04202aea23d88d40d9c4c) and Ubuntu 11.10.

Any ideas about how to solve the problem?

Alejandro.
