Thanks Stan, you're 100% right! Usually I load a set of rcParams with
another font and that's why I don't have that problem:
## PNG output:
pylab.rcParams['text.usetex'] = False
## schöner sans-serif Font *ohne* LaTeX: 'stixsans'
pylab.rcParams['mathtext.fontset'] = 'stixsans'
## LaTeX-PDF output:
pylab.rcParams['text.usetex'] = True
pylab.rcParams['text.latex.unicode'] = True
pylab.rcParams['text.latex.preamble'] = [
'\usepackage{lmodern}',
'\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}',
'\usepackage{sfmath}',
'\usepackage{gensymb}',
'\usepackage{amsmath}',
]
Thanks a lot for clarification!
