Hi,

a friend of mine has rendering issues with TeX rendering. When she tries to executes the scripts that run fine on my machine, she gets output like this:

The correct output, that is reproducible on my machine, is:

This happens for any plot that uses TeX rendering, both in labels and in plot titles. It also happens both in Jupyter notebook and in command-line scripts, as well as in PNG and SVG output files.

The presented picture is generated by the Jupyter notebook that I uploaded here:

Her setup:

• Debian testing with recent updates
• Matplotlib version 1.5.3 from Debian package repositories
• Python 3 from Debian package repositories
• All texlive packages suggested by Debian's matplotlib package installed and recent

My setup:

• Arch Linux with recent updates
• Matplotlib version 1.4.3
• Python 3.5.2

Do you have any idea what the reason could be? We tried all applicable tips from http://matplotlib.org/users/usetex.html Is there any more useful information that we can provide or any good place to look?

Thanks!
