There are a couple of alternative formatters for log scaling that don't require mathtext. You can do: from matplotlib.tickers import LogFormatter, LogFormatterExponent ... ax.xaxis.set_major_formatter(LogFormatter()) # or LogFormatterExponent(), which is just the exponent To clarify the font

[Matplotlib-users] Type 1 fonts with log graphs

2012-10-29 Thread Brandon Heller
Hi, I'm trying to use Matplotlib graphs as part of a camera-ready submission, and the publishing house requires the use of Type 1 fonts only. I'm finding that the PDF backend happily outputs Type-1 fonts for simple graphs with linear Y axes, but outputs Type-3 fonts for logarithmic Y axes.
