I also had a problem matching matplotlib's mathfonts with my Beamer (http://latex-beamer.sourceforge.net) presentation's Helvetica (or sans-serif) mathfonts.
As LaTeX does not support Helvetica Math unless you buy it from
Micropress, I was curious as to how Till Tantau managed to implement
sans-serif mathfonts in his beamer class.
After some hacking-and-slashing I've isolated the necessary LaTeX code
to generate "beamer compatible" sans-serif math fonts, see attached .tex
file:
The easiest way to "convert" your mpl installation to generate
sans-serif math fonts is to search for "\begin{document}" in your
backend_ps.py file and then to past the attached LaTeX code just above
it.
A more permanent solution to mpl, with Darren's approval, would be the
attached patches to backend_ps.py and texmanager.py
These patches also include the option to add to the default LaTeX
preamble used by texmanager.py & backend_ps.py, e.g.:
rcParams['latex.preamble']=r"""\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb}
\usepackage[afrikaans]{babel}
\usepackage[iso,english]{isodate}
\usepackage{numprint}
"""
Kind regards,
