The basic problem here (I think) is that the LogFormatterMathtext is
using a math font to do exponential xtick formatting and a regular
text font to do the other text in the figure
class LogFormatterMathtext(LogFormatter):
...snip
if not isDecade and self.labelOnlyBase: s = ''
elif not isDecade:
s = '%d^\{%\.2f\}'% (b, fx)
else:
s = '%d^\{%d\}'% (b, self.nearest_long(fx))
return s
Compare with this script, where the ylabel gets the math font as well
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('Agg')
matplotlib.rcParams['text.usetex'] = True
from pylab import figure, savefig, nx
t=nx.arange(0,1,0.01)
y=nx.sin(2*nx.pi*t)
fig = figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax.semilogx(t,y)
ax.set_ylabel(r'\\exp\{\\frac\{1\}\{2\}\}')
ax.set_xlabel('Time (sec.)')
fig.savefig('test.png')
Not sure what the right fix is here... One option would for text.py
to treat all numbers as math if usetex is enabled (not recommending
here, just free associating)
if usetex:
try: float(self._text)
except ValueError: pass
else: self._text = '%s' % self._text
or something to that effect. Another would be to try and force the
font for the superscripts to be the same as the regular ticks.
I thought something like this might work:
usetex = rcParams['text.usetex']
if not isDecade and self.labelOnlyBase: s = ''
elif not isDecade:
if usetex: s = r'\\rm\{%d^\{%\.2f\}\}'% (b, fx)
else: s = '%d^\{%\.2f\}'% (b, fx)
else:
if usetex: s = r'\\rm\{%d^\{%d\}\}'% (b, self.nearest_long(fx))
else: s = r'%d^\{%d\}'% (b, self.nearest_long(fx))
but it didn't so there is something I am missing.
