Re: [Matplotlib-users] mathtext in eps figures doesn't come out in pdf
I did have success converting my ps file to pdf with an online converter at http://www.ps2pdf.com/ -- so it seems it's ghostscript 8.70 bug (though one that I've only seen with eps files created by matplotlib).

What happens if you generate the pdf file directly from matplotlib, and not via ps2pdf? That should work fine...

Re: [Matplotlib-users] mathtext in eps figures doesn't come out in pdf
Setting test.usetex to True solved this problem. The only drawback is that the font used for numbers and that used for axis labels is different and looks a bit odd. I'm sure the fix for that is not too difficult, however. Jon On Wed, 2011-08-17 at 14:09 +0900, Jae-Joon Lee wrote: Can you post an output eps file so that we can take a look?

If the journal doesn't mind, you could always save your figures as pdf files using the pdf backend, then you can use pdflatex on everything and you never have to generate a postscript file.
