I tried the simple example, but all examples I try choke on savefig ('blah.pdf')
This is fedora20 linux, with pretty modern, complete texlive.
I tried rm'ing tex-cache

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import matplotlib as mpl
mpl.use("pgf")
pgf_with_rc_fonts = {
"font.family": "serif",
"font.serif": [], # use latex default serif font
"font.sans-serif": ["DejaVu Sans"], # use a specific sans-serif font
}
mpl.rcParams.update(pgf_with_rc_fonts)
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.figure(figsize=(4.5,2.5))
plt.plot(range(5))
plt.text(0.5, 3., "serif")
plt.text(0.5, 2., "monospace", family="monospace")
plt.text(2.5, 2., "sans-serif", family="sans-serif")
plt.text(2.5, 1., "comic sans", family="Comic Sans MS")
plt.xlabel(u"µ is not $\\mu$")
plt.tight_layout(.5)
