Getting latex fonts to display in plot window

Rob,

Is there a way for matplotlib to use the latex fonts in the plot window not just in the saved version of the graph?
Even when I have usetex True it picks a font from the font list given in the matplotlibrc file.
How do I force it to use the type1cm or pslatex fonts?

Rob,

Is there a way for matplotlib to use the latex fonts in the plot
window not just in the saved version of the graph?
Even when I have usetex True it picks a font from the font list given
in the matplotlibrc file.

This is a new feature, it uses the font list to select the appropriate latex
font, and the same font is used in the saved version.

How do I force it to use the type1cm or pslatex fonts?

For type1cm, use:

font.serif : serif (or "computer modern roman")
font.sans-serif : sans-serif (or "computer modern sans-serif")
font.monospace : monospace (or "computer modern typewriter")

for pslatex, use:

font.serif : times
font.sans-serif : helvetica
font.monospace : courier

I'm planning on updating the usetex wiki page, I just havent had time to do it
yet.
