Hi all,
I've been making figures for a paper I'm writing (to be submitted to the
ApJ). I'm using LaTeX and so need to use encapsulated PostScript for
the figures. The problem is that when the paper is translated to pdf
from PostScript, the mathtext in the figures disappears. The reason
that I think this is a matplotlib issue is that it's never happened to
me with eps figures created in different ways. It's clear that this
must be related to fonts, but I'm not sure how to get around it. Should
I set text.usetex to True? I have a feeling this issue must have come
up before, but I haven't found anything obviously pertinent in the
mailing list archives.

Are you dead set on using eps files? If the journal doesn’t mind, you could always save your figures as pdf files using the pdf backend, then you can use pdflatex on everything and you never have to generate a postscript file.

Can you post an output eps file so that we can take a look?

Attached are examples of the problem -- a PostScript file and the pdf
that is created using ps2pdf. The y-axis is properly labeled in the ps
file, but the part of the label using mathtext becomes invisible in the
pdf.

Setting test.usetex to True solved this problem. The only drawback is
that the font used for numbers and that used for axis labels is
different and looks a bit odd. I'm sure the fix for that is not too
difficult, however.

What happens if you generate the pdf file directly from matplotlib,
and not via ps2pdf? That should work fine...
Cheers,

When I converted the ps file to pdf, the result is okay.
I tried
* ps2pdf (from ghostscript version 8.61)
* ps2pdf (from ghostscript version 9.02)
* preview in mac os X
and they all worked fine.
I wonder if this could be a bug in the pspdf (ghostscript 8.70 I believe).
Can you try other version of ps2pdf?

I did have success converting my ps file to pdf with an online converter
at http://www.ps2pdf.com/ -- so it seems it's ghostscript 8.70 bug
(though one that I've only seen with eps files created by matplotlib).
