Hi all,

I have just upgraded to 0.93.1 (actually it turned out I did not even have 
to remove the 0.90 egg, python imports from 0.91 all by itself. I do not 
completely understand why, but that was a nice surprise...) and now the 
mixing of normal text and mathtext works nicely.

Is it possible to use a different font than the latex-like font for the 
mathtext? It seems to be, as I found some lines relating to this in the 
matplotlibrc (the mathtext settings), but I am not sure how to set them. I 
would like a font which looks more like Arial or Helvetica text, does 
anybody know how to do this?

Also, I tried to set the default font to Helvetica in the matplotlibrc 
file, but this does not affect the text in the plot. Is it enough to set

font.family : sans-serif
font.sans-serif : Helvetica

to always use the Helvetica font, also for the axes? Or how do I set the 
font used for the tick labels?

Any pointers would be much appreciated, and apologies if I should have 
overlooked prior posts or documentation! Thanks!

Best regards, Berit
