For me the problem occurs with PDF files, not PNG files. Or was that
just a typo?
Font specifications are all default.
# python -c 'import matplotlib; import pprint;
# pprint.pprint(matplotlib.rcParams)' | egrep 'tex'
'legend.handletextpad': 0.8,
'mathtext.bf': 'serif:bold',
'mathtext.cal': 'cursive',
'mathtext.default': 'it',
'mathtext.fallback_to_cm': True,
'mathtext.fontset': 'cm',
'mathtext.it': 'serif:italic',
'mathtext.rm': 'serif',
'mathtext.sf': 'sans\\-serif',
'mathtext.tt': 'monospace',
'text.antialiased': True,
'text.color': 'k',
'text.dvipnghack': None,
'text.hinting': True,
