computer modern

Hi,

is there any way to use Computer Modern in any text in matplotlib ?

In , I read the
following :
So, Computer Modern is not listed there.
However, Computer Modern is used in mathtext, so I suppose there is a
way to use it also in plain text, but I can’t figure it…
I tried :
but it did not work.
Thanks a lot,
Nicolas P.

#font.serif : Bitstream Vera Serif, New Century Schoolbook, Century Schoolbook L, Utopia, ITC Bookman, Bookman, Nimbus Roman No9 L, Times New Roman, Times, Palatino, Charter, serif
#font.sans-serif : Bitstream Vera Sans, Lucida Grande, Verdana, Geneva, Lucid, Arial, Helvetica, Avant Garde, sans-serif
#font.cursive : Apple Chancery, Textile, Zapf Chancery, Sand, cursive
#font.fantasy : Comic Sans MS, Chicago, Charcoal, Impact, Western, fantasy
#font.monospace : Bitstream Vera Sans Mono, Andale Mono, Nimbus Mono L, Courier New, Courier, Fixed, Terminal, monospace

mpl.rc(‘font’, family = ‘serif’, serif = ‘computer modern roman’)

The name of the Computer Modern Roman font that ships with matplotlib is "cmr10", so

   mpl.rc('font', family = 'serif', serif = 'cmr10')

should work.

Thanks, it works well.

However, I forgot that computer modern does not include accented characters (unlike latin modern), so I eventually used Stix :

mpl.rc('font', family = 'serif', serif = 'STIXGeneral')

By the way, is there any way to use Stix for sans-serif as well, or even cursive and monospace ? I don't know how to do that, since Stix seems to contain all of them in a single file (STIXGeneral.ttf) ?

There's no easy way to do what you ask. You can, however, use math mode to get to those characters in STIX. For example, set mathtext.fontset to "stix" and then:

  r'\\mathcal\{Caligraphic\} \\mathtt\{Monospace\}'
