H, I'm using sfmath, too. I actually wrote a helper function to switch fonts.
The preambles are the result of long-term trial and error. Normally, my
preambles include some more custom commands which I left out here because they
would be distracting. I always wondered why matplotlib doesn't do this kind of
font switching out of the box.
def setfont(font=font_default,unicode=True):
r"""
Set Matplotlibs rcParams to use LaTeX for font rendering.
Revert all changes by calling rcdefault() from matplotlib.
Parameters:
-----------
font: string
"Helvetica"
"Times"
"Computer Modern"
usetex: Boolean
Use unicode. Default: False.
"""
# Use TeX for all figure text!
plt.rc('text', usetex=True)
font = font.lower().replace(" ","")
if font == 'times':
# Times
font = {'family':'serif', 'serif':['Times']}
preamble = r"""
\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{mathptmx}
"""
elif font == 'helvetica':
# Helvetica
# set serif, too. Otherwise setting to times and then
# Helvetica causes an error.
font = {'family':'sans-serif','sans-serif':['Helvetica'],
'serif':['cm10']}
preamble = r"""
\usepackage{color}
\usepackage[tx]{sfmath}
\usepackage{helvet}
"""
else:
# Computer modern serif
font = {'family':'serif', 'serif':['cm10']}
preamble = r"""
\usepackage{color}
"""
if unicode:
# Unicode for Tex
#preamble = r"""\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}""" + preamble
# inputenc should be set automatically
plt.rcParams['text.latex.unicode']=True
#print font, preamble
plt.rc('font',**font)
plt.rcParams['text.latex.preamble'] = preamble
