Comment (by mjo):
Ok, that doesn't work on a clean install (you can set an empty `$PATH` to
convince it to crash). It requires ghostscript, dvipng (see #12276), and
full tex installation. For a workaround, you can add,
{{{
from matplotlib import rcParams
rcParams['text.usetex'] = True
}}}
to `~/.sage/init.sage`. The real fix would be one of the following:
1. Get Matplotlib to support `\mbox` in their ''mathtext'' package.
2. Replace all occurrences of `\mbox` in Sage with `\mathrm`. This might
cause regressions.
3. Ship tex, ghostscript, and dvipng with Sage.
