[Matplotlib-users] TeX in xlabel ?

[Gary <pa...@in...>]

I apologize if the answer to this is published in some painfully obvious 
location.  It seems like it must be a FAQ, but I can't find it ...

AFAICT,  It is not possible to mix text and TeX symbols in a string and 
have it come out right.  For example, in

xlabel(r'$\rm{Normalized Temperature} (kT/\epsilon)$' 

The text  comes out in TeX math mode ... not so pretty.  Please tell me 
what I've overlooked.
