Hi Oren, The link below leads to a recent related thread on this list. Maybe it will be informative. I believe it implies that the answer is No, you have to use TeX.

Currently when I save the image as postscript all the text in the image ( xlabel, ylabel etc.. ) is saved as path and not as text.. Is it possible to save it as text? If I use the following code ( use latex) matplotlib.rcParams["text.usetex"] = True and save the image as postscript the text is saved as text.. But I do not want to use latex.. Is it possible without latex? Thanks Question also on stackoverflow http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26649266/matplotlib-save-image-as-postscript-when-xlabel-is-saved-as-text-and-not-path
