Hi, Mike. I've thrashed around a bit more with this. It appears that if I
use the matplotlib from Fedora 13 (version 0.99) I get the correct behavior
for math text if I also install the stix* packages AND set
rcParams[mathtext.fontset] to "stix". (There are four stix packages in Fedora
13, all small, and I just installed all of them, so I don't know what the
minimum requirement is).
I also got the appropriate math text when I installed the latest matplotlib
from source and used all the default settings. I've now reverted to the
standard Fedora packages and stix, so I can't easily compare the two sets of
rcParams.
Thanks for your help.
-- Mike
