I get this error anytime I try to get a delta. E.g.: text(0.5, 0.5, r'$\Delta$) (I think this is what you mean by mathtext expresssion?) Here is the relevant part of the matplotlibrc file: font.family : sans-serif font.style : normal font.variant : normal font.weight : medium font.stretch : normal # note that font.size controls default text sizes. To configure # special text sizes tick labels, axes, labels, title, etc, see the rc # settings for axes and ticks.
