See this [http://ask.sagemath.org/question/2066/fonts-in-graph-graph-
theory-pictures-are-type-3 ask.sagemath thread].
The default matplotlib behavior is to use Type-3 fonts in graphics.
However, some (many?) publications have a strict stipulation of using
Type-1 fonts only in the document. The method to force matplotlib to have
this behavior is to add a matplotlibrc file in the working directory with
the following contents:
{{{
rcParams['ps.useafm'] = True
rcParams['pdf.use14corefonts'] = True
rcParams['text.usetex'] = True
}}}
This tidbit should be added to the main graphics documentation in some
nice way. A `..note` maybe?
