Christoph,
The patch you attach looks like it might be helpful to us. I'll
investigate further.

Since this is specific to Windows 8, I wonder if the Arial font has been
updated in that version. If it's a newer OTF font, rather than a TTF
font, it's possible matplotlib can't read it correctly.

Sounds like it might have something to do with your Latex installation (if
any) or the barebones Latex-rendering done by MPL alone. Namely, they
simply don't have the characters for mathematical Arial available.
Not too sure though. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable responds.
