Hi, Thanks for all the replies! Of course it is not directly a bug. But awkward. This is how I was finally able to change alle fonts and the whole layout of the plot:
fig_width_pt = 246.0 # Get this from LaTeX using \showthe\columnwidth inches_per_pt = 1.0/72.27 # Convert pt to inch golden_mean = (sqrt(5)-1.0)/2.0 # Aesthetic ratio fig_width = fig_width_pt*inches_per_pt # width in inches fig_height = fig_width*golden_mean # height in inches fig_size = [fig_width,fig_height] params = {'backend': 'ps','axes.labelsize': 10,'text.fontsize': 10,'legend.fontsize': 10,'text.usetex': True,'text.latex.preamble':["\usepackage{bm}","\usepackage{textcomp}"], 'figure.figsize': fig_size, 'font.family' : 'sans-serif', 'font.style': 'normal', 'font.weight':'normal',} rcParams.update(params) ....... ffont = {'family':'sans-serif','fontsize':10,'weight':'bold'} ax1=gca() ax1.set_xticklabels(ax1.get_xticks(),ffont) ax1.set_yticklabels(ax1.get_yticks(),ffont) subplots_adjust(top=1-.13) xticks(**ffont) yticks(**ffont) Best regards: Gerolf On Thu 27.Mar.08 14:54, Darren Dale wrote: > On Thursday 27 March 2008 01:27:28 pm Gerolf Ziegenhain wrote: > > More complete: > > > > I tried all permunations of backends.
