The file you sent was not generated by the pdf backend but by "Mac OS X
10.5.6 Quartz PDFContext", which probably means that the OS X backend
saves pdf files using the OS X machinery and not the pdf backend. Indeed
the formulas look like bitmaps.

You are trying to use the pdf backend, but the last line quoted above
has no effect because you have already imported pyplot, which causes the
backend to be set as directed by your matplotlibrc file. Any call to
matplotlib.use needs to be done before you import pyplot.
