Dear All MiKTeX/win32 users,
With the following lines in my matplotlibrc file:
...
text.usetex : True
text.tex.engine : latex
...
I can generating beautiful LaTeX output for my text labels, I now have
difficulty changing the font from the default, "Computer Times Roman" to
anything else..
The following line in my matplotlibrc file:
...
font packagesfont.latex.package : helvet
...
Have no effect...
Changing "helvet" to:
times, txfonts, pxfont, arial, etc. have also no effect although these
packages are installed...
Even hardcoding, "\usepackage{helvet}" into backend_ps.py, has no
effect:
...
if rcParams['text.usetex']:
if rcParams['text.tex.engine'] == 'latex':
fontpackage = rcParams['font.latex.package']
else:
fontpackage = 'type1cm'
pw, ph = defaultPaperSize
if width>pw-2 or height>ph-2: pw,ph =
_get_papersize(width,height)
print >>latexh, r"""\documentclass{scrartcl}
\usepackage{%s}
\usepackage{helvet}
\usepackage{psfrag}
...
Any ideas...?
Vriendelik die uwe,

If you use the exact same text then it will not change the font because matplotlib caches the tex redering of text by the name of the text. You have to delete
the matplotlib tex cache in ~/.matplotlibrc/tex.cache. That will force it to regenerate the text using the new font.
For example if your plot has a label "Meters" then matplotlib will use the cached rendering of "Meters". It isn't smart enough to notice that the cached version uses a different font and therefore must be re-rendered.
