Using helvetica latex fonts...

Basically my question is: does the font.latex.package

Try flushine the cache ~/.matplotlib/tex.cache/

I didn't look, but we may not be including the latex header in the
font caching hash string.

Try flushine the cache ~/.matplotlib/tex.cache/

That did it, thanks. Is this a one-off thing because I had stale info there? Or does it need to be done every time you change your latex font package selection? If the latter, I guess it should be considered a bug.

Cheers,

It's a bug. We need to either include the font information in the md5
().hexdigest, or we need to add font directories under tex.cache to keep
things separate. I dont know what is the right way to do it, now that there
is low-level font command support in mpl (I'm not familiar with that part of
the code and unfortunately dont have time to familiarize myself with it this
week).
