Is there a way to get latex to use Ariel font and not italic? If I use the \rm{} command I can get rid of italic, but it is using a serif font and I cannot find any documentation on how to change that font.
Thanks,
Lane Brooks
Arial fonts are not supported by latex. Beyond that, I can't be of much help
without a brief example.

You can't (easily )get Ariel, but you can get a SanSerif font.
\rm{} means "Roman Font"
you want:
\sf{} (Sans Serif Font)

NOTE: I've never used this with MPL, but that's the LaTeX way.

Not to be picky, but those are technically TeX commands. usetex uses LaTeX,
which will accept these TeX font commands, but in a few cases they give
results that are not ideal. Better to use the LaTeX versions: \textrm,
\textsf, etc.

I also had a problem matching matplotlib's mathfonts with my Beamer
(http://latex-beamer.sourceforge.net) presentation's Helvetica (or
sans-serif) mathfonts.
As LaTeX does not support Helvetica Math unless you buy it from
Micropress, I was curious as to how Till Tantau managed to implement
sans-serif mathfonts in his beamer class.
After some hacking-and-slashing I've isolated the necessary LaTeX code
to generate "beamer compatible" sans-serif math fonts, see attached .tex
file:
The easiest way to "convert" your mpl installation to generate
sans-serif math fonts is to search for "\begin{document}" in your
backend_ps.py file and then to past the attached LaTeX code just above
it.
A more permanent solution to mpl, with Darren's approval, would be the
attached patches to backend_ps.py and texmanager.py
These patches also include the option to add to the default LaTeX
preamble used by texmanager.py & backend_ps.py, e.g.:
rcParams['latex.preamble']=r"""\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb}
\usepackage[afrikaans]{babel}
\usepackage[iso,english]{isodate}
\usepackage{numprint}
"""
