Hi, I am trying to get the fonts in the plots to be exactly like LaTeX would give me in math mode using the \mathrm command. So I set up the text to be in serif but still the font is too bold, I tried to play with weight but I see no difference at all. In the following short example http://www.nabble.com/file/p20226520/cdfii.py cdfii.py you will se my probelm. When running it in the legend I put in the second legend the word 'twist' like I wish all my text would look like, I obtained it by cheating and using within LaTeX math mode the \mathrm command, and after as you can see there is the 'normal' word twist which appear too bold. Where is the problem ? Also I was thinking to use these kind of \mathrm cheats to fix it but when using past functions I wrote for a previous matplotlib version it appear that even the digits on the axis appear in a weird bold manner. My question is the mthe following how can you force all text to look like the font I want, is there a dedicated method or a brute force,... I would be grateful to have anything !
