Hi Heiko,
in the matplotlibrc I read:
#text.latex.preamble :
# IMPROPER USE OF THIS FEATURE WILL LEAD TO LATEX FAILURES
# AND IS THEREFORE UNSUPPORTED. PLEASE DO NOT ASK FOR HELP
# IF THIS FEATURE DOES NOT DO WHAT YOU EXPECT IT TO.
# preamble is a comma separated list of LaTeX statements
# that are included in the LaTeX document preamble.
Therefore it is assumed (in the rcsetup.py) that the given string needs to be
devided into sub-strings, which are separated by commas. For your particular
case - in my opinion - the solution is to provide a list of string(s) instead
of a string
matplotlib.rcParams['text.latex.preamble']=[r"\usepackage[garamond,sfscaled=false]
{mathdesign}"]
Kind regards,
Matthias
