Bug report

Bug summary

A pgf image exported by matplotlib leads to two different fonts in the x- and y-axis in alatex document

Code for reproduction
First you have to create the figure with the following code or a similar one.

importmatplotlibasmplmpl.rcParams["axes.formatter.use_mathtext"]=Falseimportmatplotlib.pyplotaspltplt.close()plt.semilogy(3.5,3.5e3,"o")plt.savefig("test.pdf")plt.savefig("test.pgf")

Then you put thepgf figure into a latex document:

\documentclass{scrartcl}\usepackage{pgf}\begin{document}\input{test.pgf}\end{document}

Actual outcome

Latex produces a pdf document with the y-axis in roman font (computer modern roman) and the x-axis in a sans-serif font (computer modern sans). I had expected both axes to have the same font.
Thepdf produced by matplotlib in contrast has the sans-serif font for both axes.

Expected outcome

I would expected both axes to have a sans-serif font like in the pdf produced by matplotlib itself. However, I'm not sure if this is more latex related.
I also found a similar question onstackoverflow.
