Thanks, it works well. However, I forgot that computer modern does not include accented characters (unlike latin modern), so I eventually used Stix :
mpl.rc('font', family = 'serif', serif = 'STIXGeneral') By the way, is there any way to use Stix for sans-serif as well, or even cursive and monospace ? I don't know how to do that, since Stix seems to contain all of them in a single file (STIXGeneral.ttf) ?
