Thank you for your answer!
I am trying to use helvetica and yes, text(r'$1+2+3={}$1+2+3') gives me
helvetica for the non math mode case.
But how do I get math mode to use the same font? I've tried to set
'mathtext.rm': 'sans-serif' in my params dict
and then run "rcParams.update(params)" but that did not help. Do you know
what I should do?
