Hi, following problem arises when using the pgf backend:
For the plots in my document I would like to use a sans-serif font. Because I want to use the functionality of the Tex-package siunitx (among others) I need to use either the pdf-backend with text.usetex set to True or the pgf-backend. Because I like the idea of being able to use virtually any font with XeLatex I'd prefer using the pgf-backend. However, I cannot seem to be able to convince matplotlib to use a sans-serif font for the tick-labels of my logarithmic axis. The weird thing is, that there is no problem when using linear scales. My (minimal) matplotlibrc looks like this: backend : pdf font.family : sans-serif pgf.preamble : \usepackage{sfmath} An example script to reproduce the error: #!usr/bin/env python from pylab import * y = logspace(-3,9,num=50,base=10.0) fig = figure(1) clf() myplt = fig.add_subplot(111) myplt.plot(y) myplt.set_yscale('log') savefig('test.pdf') Has anyone had similar issues or does anyone have a good idea as to what to look into? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Kalle ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.
