I have an old fedora 11 system. When I try to use latex math (e.g.,

ascii chars) in my pdf output.

Any ideas how to debug?

Try using raw strings. If that doesn't work, try submitting a short example.

submitting an example won't help. The problem is with this installation. My
question is, how can I try to debug it?

Are you setting text.usetex to True, or using matplotlib's built-in mathtext rendering?

Can you attach an image? I've seen enough of these failure cases that I can often guess by looking at it :wink:
