Matplotlib determines the font properties when the output file is created. But, TikZ (at least the way how your translator works) lets those information determined when latex is run. No doubt that TikZ result is much better than the matplotlib backends, but that is because TikZ and maplotlib works differently. While TikZ results looks better, this will greatly limit the functionality of matplotlib. And I'm afraid that your translator will not do much more than converting very simple plots. Anyhow, good luck with your project!
