Re: [Matplotlib-users] mathtext and fonts under Windows 8
But the thing that bothers me about this error is that it only occurs if I try to mix mathtext and non-matplotlib font. So matplotlib finds Arial just fine. And it finds the mathtext font fine. Only the mixture is fatal. It's as if the parser loses track of the Arial font, or it looks for a mathtext glyph in Arial. Very strange that it occurs only in Windows 8. Regarding Paul's response, I don't have LaTeX on the W8 computer, and my impression is that mathtext doesn't look for mathematical Arial, instead there are some packaged fonts that it uses for this purpose, like Computer Modern and STIX. I can confirm this behavior on my Windows 8 box as well. Everything is fine until you try to mix mathtext and Arial (and a bunch of other fonts too, but Arial is the easiest one to test).I also do not have latex on the Windows 8 computer. Identical code works on a Windows 7 machine. -- Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
