Thanks Mike. Interesting that it works for you with mathtext only. I am in some confusion about the matplotlib version I'm using. Synaptic (package manager) says that for matplotlib I have 0.99.1.2-3ubuntu1installed. Asking for help(matplotlib) in python gives
> FILE > /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/matplotlib-1.0.1-py2.6-linux-i686.egg/matplotlib/__init__.py I did not change anything manually in matplotlibrc, of which I seem to have three versions: > /etc/matplotlibrc > /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data/matplotlibrc > /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/matplotlib-1.0.1-py2.6-linux-i686.egg/matplotlib/mpl-data/matplotlibrc The first one has backend: TkAgg whereas the other two have backend: GTKAgg. Everything else is commented out. I usually work from within the Spyder IDE, where the backend is set (via Preferences) to Qt4Agg. I get the faulty behaviour (omega instead of !) both from within Spyder and from within a console ipython session (where presumably either TkAgg or GTKAgg is used). Setting the backend to either TkAgg or GTKAgg in Spyder results in no plot at all.
