Mike:
For some reason I didn't see your posts until now, apologies.
In fact, STIX is not supposed to "blend with" Times; rather, STIX
*replaces* Times wholesale -- i.e. they have redesigned the whole character
set. Thus labels (ticks, arbitrary text etc.) should also use STIX, even if
they don't use math.
I finally found the correct rcParams to use to achieve this:
from matplotlib import rcParams
rcParams["font.family"] = "STIXGeneral"
rcParams["mathtext.fontset"] = "stix"
It would certainly be nice if this could be done with a single setting.
It seems to me that given that STIX is already distributed with Matplotlib,
this could be a good new default to replace Bitstream Vera Sans.

Get your SQL database under version control now!
Version control is standard for application code, but databases havent
caught up. So what steps can you take to put your SQL databases under
version control? Why should you start doing it? Read more to find out.
