In 0.90.1, it is not supported in PDF. > Can you explain what the "Tex-like mathtext format parsed by > matplotlib" is? matplotlib also has a built-in math formatting engine that does not use TeX itself. You can use it by leaving "usetex=False" (the default) and putting a '$' at the beginning and end of your TeX strings. Plotting.xlabel(r'$\alpha^2$') Unfortunately, the built-in engine only supports a subset of what TeX can do. That subset is much smaller in 0.90.1 than in the current SVN, where much progress has recently been made.
