Hi,

Thanks for the insight.  What I'm really trying to get is multiple
colors in the title text.  For example, if mpl didn't convert all text
to black, I would want the following to produce blue and red text:

  pylab.rc( 'text' , usetex=True )
  pylab.rc( 'text.latex' , preamble='\usepackage[usenames]{color}' )
  pylab.title( '\\textcolor{Blue}{blue part} \\textcolor{Red}{red part}')

Is there a particular reason why mpl has to convert png colored text
to black and white?

Best wishes,
Mike
