Like TeX, matplotlib ignores spaces in math mode and uses spacing derived from the usual roles of the symbols. You need to use an explicit command to add space. > I also tried using the math mode spacing for Latex, So, if I try to do > pylab.ylabel(r'$V\;[A^{3}]$'), I only get V and not even A^3. On the current trunk, and on the v0_98_5 maintenance branch, that works fine. At least the following spacing commands seem to work: r'$a\ b$', r'$a\,b$', r'$a\;b$', r'$a\!b$' (negative space) and r'$a\quad b$' work. Perhaps you can update to a newer version of matplotlib? -- Jouni K.
