[Matplotlib-users] mathtext is smaller than regular text

Hello all, Does anyone know why mathtext is smaller than the regular text in the same string? For example, see http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/text_intro.html (equation E=mc^2) How can I make it of equal size? I don't see any mathtext size settings in rcfile... Thanks in advance!

Mathtext is in a completely different font (Computer Modern), so it has a different x-height, even though it does have the same overall height. While there isn't a way to change the size of part of a Text object, you could put the math its own Text object and use the 'fontsize' kwarg to

Hello, This is a question mostly for non-Latex users. What is your preferred saving format from matplotlib that you use in OpenOffice or a similar open office tool? A format that looks good on both screen and printed output. In my experiences so far I have found getting the best quality outputs

Hi Paul, I usually use dpi=100. We have lots of MS Office users here and I don't want to use a file format where they can't easily access my documents. It's always easier to get reviews following their format. I plan to write in OpenOffice and later convert the text to MS Office format. There is
