I would like to place a mathematical symbol on a plot by using the appropriate
code bracketed by dollar signs, e.g., $\alpha$. This is the technique used in
the program pyplot_mathtext.py described at
http://matplotlib.org/users/mathtext.html#mathtext-tutorial. When I run this
probram I get the error messages shown below. What do I need to do to fix this
problem? I'm using matplotlib 1.3.1 and Python 2.6.
>python pyplot_mathtext.py
