The simplest case would be:

import pylab
pylab.plot([1,2])
pylab.xlabel("$\phi$")
pylab.savefig("fig.png")
pylab.savefig("fig.eps")

The png has the xlabel as phi, the xlabel in the eps file is just empty.

I use python 2.5, don't really know which version of matplotlib is installed
but it is not older than a year.

Here the latex part of matplotlibrc:

### LaTeX customizations. See
http://www.scipy.org/Wiki/Cookbook/Matplotlib/UsingTex
#text.usetex         : False  # use latex for all text handling. The
following fonts
...
#text.latex.unicode : False # use "ucs" and "inputenc" LaTeX packages for
handling
...
#text.latex.preamble :  # IMPROPER USE OF THIS FEATURE WILL LEAD TO LATEX
FAILURES
...
#text.dvipnghack     : False  # some versions of dvipng don't handle
...
#text.markup         : 'plain'  # Affects how text, such as titles and
labels, are

Thanks for your answers so far.
