It doesn't do that for me. Either this has been fixed between your question and now, or it depends on the specifics of your environment. The following simple test puts the tilde on B in both cases: In [22]:rcParams['text.usetex'] Out[22]:False In [23]:text(0,0,r'$A\tilde{B}$') Out[23]:<matplotlib.text.Text instance at 0x17b814e0> In [24]:text(1,0,r'$A\tilde B$') Out[24]:<matplotlib.text.Text instance at 0x17b81508> This is with the TkAgg backend and current svn version of matplotlib. What does this experiment produce for you? However, the following might be considered a bug: In [28]:text(1,1,r'$A\tilde{}B$') --------------------------------------------------------------------------- exceptions.ValueError Traceback (most recent call last) /private/tmp/<ipython console> ... ValueError: unrecognized symbol "\tild" I think John Hunter once said that Matplotlib's mathtext attempts to support a subset of LaTeX syntax, and any inconsistencies within that subset should be considered bugs. Admittedly it doesn't seem very likely that someone wants to but a raised tilde between two letters, but the error message indicates that the parsing is somehow very different from TeX. -- Jouni K.
