They're actually different fonts. The one on the left is Vera Sans, the
one on right is Stix Sans. There is a bug where regular (meaning Vera)
text in math was getting mapping to Stix Sans when mathtext.fontset is
set to stixsans. (This should now be fixed in SVN).
All that said, fixing this "bug" will mean it's now fairly easy to get
an unintended mix of Vera Sans and Stix Sans in math expressions. For
example, "$A \bf{A}$" will draw the first A in Vera and the second in
STIX. There's no easy way around that, since we don't currently support
rich text for non-math fonts. To avoid this mix of fonts within the $
$, you would probably want to set mathtext.default to "rm".
