The simplest example is I made a legend that says: plot (...label=r'esno=%s,$\mu$=%.2fms'%(esno,0.001*hist.mean()... And \mu gets turned into an '=' sign I am not setting text.usetex to True AFAIK (no .matplotlibrc). I also note that there is no ~/.matplotlib/tex.cache on this machine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What Every C/C++ and Fortran developer Should Know!
