This example shows the error on my platform - the xlabel is not rendered with
tex but instead the '$' are printed:
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.xkcd()
fig = fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
plt.plot (np.arange (10), 2*np.arange(10))
ax.set_xlabel ('$E_{s}/N_{0}$')
plt.show()
