Hello Bernhard,
I'm not sure if my answer really fits your question, but it may help to use
>>> from matplotlib import rc
>>> rc('text', usetex=True)
like in the tex_demo.py (http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/screenshots) or to
change your matplotlibrc (for explanation see:
http://www.scipy.org/Wiki/Cookbook/Matplotlib/UsingTex).
Seems to work for me.
best regards,
Matthias
