Bug summary

When latex is turned on and tick format uses specific formatters (i.e logformattermathtext, scalarformatter with scientific tuned on), the font doesn't apply and switches back to serif.

Code for reproduction

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.ticker as ticker
plt.rcParams.update({
 "text.usetex": True,
 "font.family": "sans-serif"
})
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
plt.plot(range(10))
plt.title('Center Title')
plt.title('Left Title', loc='left')
plt.title('Right Title', loc='right')
formatter=ticker.ScalarFormatter()
formatter.set_scientific(False)
ax.yaxis.set_major_formatter(formatter)
ax.xaxis.set_minor_formatter(ticker.FormatStrFormatter('%s'))
ax.set_xticklabels(ax.get_xticks())
plt.show()

Actual outcome

Expected outcome

The yticks should match the xtick/labels font (sans-serif) even though the formatting is different.
