Comment (by mjo):
Ok, I finally got a chance to look at this. Matplotlib doesn't use a full
TeX implementation by default. It has its own subset called ''mathtext''
that it uses unless you tell it to do otherwise via,
{{{
from matplotlib import rcParams
rcParams['text.usetex']=True
}}}
This requires you to have "TeX" available in your `$PATH`, whatever that
means. I've done some experimenting and it's possible to set this globally
via,
{{{
#text.usetex : False # use latex for all text handling.
}}}
in `local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data/matplotlibrc`.
However, I have a full, standalone LaTeX installed everywhere that I work,
so I'm not sure if doing this would break a clean install.
